Thoughts and prayers are with the folks there. I have a pen pal there that lives on the island of Tasmania, not sure if that is anywhere near where this is headed. Stay safe.

How mush more can Queensland take? Have relatives up in Cairns so thinking of you all and following the weather reports. You are in our prayers.

Wow, what a powerful storm. I will pray also.

Thoughts and prayers to all of you! Is this the area that had the flooding? Australia has had your share of horrible weather this year.

Been tuned into the radio all morning, very disturbing.....poor Queensland is taking a hammering of late...you all must be exhausted and frightened.

To all our Queensland mates....we're thinking of you and sending blessings and prayers your way.

The power of prayer, I have just read that cyclone Yasi has been down graded to two and that at it's most powerful the NZ Storm Chaser guy on the news said it equaled if not surpassed in strength that of hurricane Katrina. I have just caught up on some pics, very nasty mess all those poor Queenslanders are faced with cleaning up!

Yes Gal - The Power of Prayer! We are so very thankful that such a huge storm has, to this moment, not taken any lives! Property and possessions are difficult to lose, and can be rebuilt ... as has been proven in the past ... life is so precious and irreplaceable. It is still very windy here where we are, and today we are sitting back, spending time with precious family (time that this cyclone has given us!!) and giving thanks and praise! Thank you to all who have responded to this call for prayer ... God Bless you all xx

Carron 02-02-2011 06:44 PM
