More bovine excrement from their ABC

yes, mostly

however, numbers did come back with a reply to my questions -

and, I have some respect for numbers ------------ and I think that numbers's response to my questions should be read carefully -

because it points out several things about Ozzies - here we have what I believe is a real ozzie (not a bot) - who lives in a real place on the GC - in a house as an owner

and this is a real pointer to how many think

1. Numbers totally discounts the potential of a severe cyclone on the GC - even though there's been such in the past decades
2. Numbers also seems totally oblivious or just refuses to accept that the risks of severe cyclones has increased - even if the numbers 'should' be less, the 'intensity' may well be greater
3. Numbers has a plan - for emergency accommodation - his caravan ----- good plan, but no mention of what happens if the caravan blows away in a cyclone - which at Cat 4 would be odds on - no mention of emergency accommodation then, no mention of the stress of getting a replacement - from where and how long. No mention of the fact that if he has a caravan - either his existing or a replacement - that he would highly likely have to live somewhere way out of his area - because there would be probably 10's of thousands of homeless needing accommodation - every caravan park for all areas nearby would be fully booked out
No mention of who would 'demolish' and 'build' his already planned duplex - in the very area where the Premier of Qld only recently said that people who are unhoused in the latest GC hinterland storms - would wait YEARS for rebuilding.

numbers post - from who I consider a 'reasonable' person (bit of a boxhead, but pretty normal) ---------- is hellishly enlightening of what many Aussies think

and IMO - they are either in denial of the reality of the potentials and situation that Oz is in - or just plain ignorant.

I seriously hope that nothing happens severe cyclone wise anywhere from North Coast down to GC in Qld in the next years

because if it does - in this time of trades crisis ----------- it would be as far as I'm concerned - a national catastrophe

and I think that particularly areas of the GC and the like - many - thousands of people like numbers - would never live to see their new house or duplex -

they would and will die in their caravans - waiting

I actually enjoy @310843B 's posts.... he was the very first person I had an argument with on starting on HC. a very memorable occasion.

but he's still a snowflake. I think he just likes to see the effect of his posts without bothering to engage, trying to uphold the Spy v. Spy style is likely to be tiring too.

on cyclones, it was @trashcansinatra made the recognition of the sea temperatures just off NSW (Syd) coast. he's correct that a cyclone could boil up out of that little (massive) hot current moving from oop north. that if if the atmospheric turbulence's were right too. its a scary prospect alright. we get strong enough winds here at times but our homes round these parts aren't built to cyclone standards.

what next years brings is worrying. deniers disbelieve it but these extraordinary warm currents are clearly an effect of GW.
