Relieved on your behalf Bruce. It was clearly some really nasty weather. I have found out the only reason it was not called a cyclone and give it a name is because it did not develop in the tropics. A moot point when the winds were as for a cat 2 cyclone or hurricane, and in some of the worst flooded places the rainfall was over 200mm in less than 1 hour. No wonder there were images of houses floating by.
