After Cyclone Yasi

Wow - we made it! What a scary night. The wind gusts went on for hours and every time something hit our roof we all jumped. Being the middle of the night we couldn't see anything so that made it worse. Keely was pretty unfazed - she fell asleep at 1130 just before all the action really started. 
I can't imagine what it was like in Mission Beach where the eye crossed. We had no damage to our house or fences, the boat did not get blown away (phew!) and all we lost was a coconut palm, which is no great loss, and lots of palm fronds everywhere.
I have dug the camera out so here are some before and after shots.

We ended up putting the boat between our neighbour's houses and thankfully it was safe

Good work boys! Generator is up & running!

Didn't really like that coconut palm anyway..

Might need to clean up before the kids get in
