at least the satellite images have been cool

I know it's silly to feel at all disappointed that the first cyclone to make landfall in the region since I moved up north is skirting my location entirely. I would not actually enjoy sitting in my apartment for several days with no electricity, mobile phone coverage, or running water. I certainly would not enjoy dealing with any damage to my home or car.

Still, there it is: the child who loved the natural disaster segment of science classes, and the adult who puts money and effort into assembling preparations every year, both quietly kicking the ground like, awww.

It's scarcely even rained! We all hoped for some rain, at least. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm sorry the weather wasn't as dramatic as you hoped, but I love the icon you picked for this--it perfectly illustrates the mood!

Peter's a good one for dramatic sulks <3

Really the hope is that it's not too dramatic where it is making landfall either! Fortunately it does not seem like it will be greater than Cat 2 at most, so if everyone is sensible they should be alright.

Nothin' like a good storm that doesn't hurt anyone while you're cozy in your house!

Exactly! Though it does remain to be seen if anyone was hurt - hopefully not!

Dang uncooperative weather ^^

My brother slept through Cyclone Larry when it hit Magnetic Island. Bit of a wildcard.

We have finally gotten some rain at least!

Impressive moves from your brother, haha. Was he still there for Yasi?

[merit]

Gosh I think he had moved away by then? Or he was not able to sleep through Yasi since that's a less exciting story.
