I breathe in sharp breaths Chest rising then falls Heart beating as fast As this cyclonic squall It's the waiting you see That makes my mind race It's the ever unknowing South East Queenslanders face Mother nature holds vengeance Maybe for all the wrongs we have done She will hold us to account Till her damage is done Once we feel long waited calm Mother nature's at peace For our moment in time Her destruction shall cease. As we start to assess and the clean ups begun Alfred's fear becomes memories With the warmth of the sun.
In just a few short hours from now we will be hit by Cyclone Alfred, our home falls within the predicted landfall zone, wind gusts of 150 kms (93.2mps) and possibly more than 400mm rain, some areas close to 700mm. It's the waiting that kills me, and the unknowing. See you all in a few days, cheers Laurel
