lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 03/28/2006 6:44 pm Strange or stupid as it may be, there is a tradition we all observe in the North West whenever a cyclone approaches....that is we all have a cyclone party and get shoosh..... Perhaps there is logic in this madness...better to be blown away when you are well "oiled". Report this Post to the Staff
grendelfreak Valued Member Australia 281 Posts	Posted 03/28/2006 7:45 pm quote: Originally posted by Sap I'll never understand why people who live in extremely hot, cyclone-prone areas like where Lim lives (or north Queensland or Florida, for that matter) don't just give up on the whole surface-dwelling thing and live underground, like they do in Coober Pedy. I suppose if you're underground and it floods, getting the water out could be a problem... [:p] Seriously, Lim, stay safe. We're thinking of you. Sap if the housing out west is anything like here or in Darwin, most houses are elevated high enough that you can walk around easily under the house. That way its a tad cooler and in floods your house does not get flooded. Buts its a pain in the arse getting furniture upstairs. Report this Post to the Staff
rggoodie Moderator United States 23513 Posts	Posted 03/28/2006 8:45 pm Ihave given it great thought but unlike Australia the average elevation of florida is about minus one foot below sea level that accounts for all of the swamps. There are very few buildings in the entire state that have basements. When you dig you hit limestone and water. No Cobber Pdeys here but if you are here for our hurricane season- there is always a good hurricane party to attend It helps to steady the nerves - or so I am told rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 03:34 am The region I am in has been spared....this TC is now expected to cross the coast this evening. Though we are not in her path, we are copping a lot of rain and all access to and from the region has been cut off. Ah well....back to the cyclone party.... Report this Post to the Staff
