Dad is living in innisfail, I was in contact with him all night, the brunt of it missed them but he said it was louder than cyclone Larry a few years ago.
They have come through with only window damage, the neighbors stayed with dad in the laundry under matresses all night, he said they heard some big noises and thought the hose was getting torn apart. But this morning have been outside for a look and found the noise was a big rain tree (took 3 people holding hands to reach around it) has been blown away, not just over, but away, and it took the neighbors house with it.
They have been without power since 9.30 last night and he is cooking bacon, eggs and baked beans for everyones breakfast. Dad lives in a small suburb just put of innisfail and all houses are on half acre blocks, about a dozen families live there.
