Thanks for posting that Orebound. Much appreciated.

We were originally down at Caloundra and you could see it building. My safest bet was to try and get undercover at Mooloolaba otherwise I would have been one of the many hundreds of cars smashed on the Highway.

When we could fully see the storm there was a massive Beavers tail on the rear of it. It was feeding beautifully of the ocean. I just could not pull over anywhere to get a shot or two. People were getting a bit worried and cutting in and out of the traffic so it took all concentration to get to the carpark. Just managed to fluke a park and get into Hoggs Breath. Order just arrived and before the storm hit we lost power so you knew it was bad.

Sharjay’s photo of the Energex pole explains it all. The staff said the power was out and it was going to be along time before it could be restored.
