So fluffybunnies are looting the devastated homes in the GC hinterland.
Unfortunately, it's routine. Some folk don't empathise with others at all - just see the world as something waiting for them to rip off. Sociopaths.

happened here in the flooded homes too

There's a case for vigilantism in suck situations.
No cops around to help protect my house?
No cops around to stop me stuffing you into a woodchipper... 🤷♂️Most excellent typo ...
Or predictive text based on the words he usually types?

Zoom in to the water park (currently full of mud).

So Kirraly has eventually been "named".
2nd Cyclone of the season.
Been threatening to cause all sorts of shit down our way.
Seems the authorities were quite worried (or maybe quite excited) it would head south and fuck us up over the weekend.
But seems, aside from wherever it hits the coast (Townsville as a 2 probably according to current predictions), gunner head inland and not do much

People are losing faith in the BOM as their modelling and predictions have been wildly out of touch recently.
It's not helped by fuckwits accusing them of being "woke" and pushing a climate change agenda.
But a lot of public messaging around extreme weather has been very poor this year. The predictions of Jasper being a huge deal when it was barely a wimper. The complete miss of the huge rain event that followed. The all over the shop modelling of this little cyclone that had track maps all over Qld. Even now the track map looks wrong as to meet their model it would have to suddenly have dramatic increase in speed.
Then we had the text message warning system that was breathlessly telling Cairns residents to evacuate and seek shelter 48 hours before the cyclone even hit. A cyclone that barely affected Cairns at all (rain event aside). And warnings about flooding? not so forthcoming.

And don't get me started on southern based media hyping weather events up here all to hell, making out like we are about to get wiped out, or the whole of cairns has been washed away, when nothing could be further from the truth.
They are already breathlessly on the ground in Townsville, ready to report on this human disaster. And using old footage to create the impression that it's all kicking off, when you can quite clearly see the reporter on the beach in a light breeze and no rain.
Fuck off you vermin. -

Farmers are thrilled with the BOM since they sold their cattle on the basis there'd be a long, dry, hot summer coming and instead they could've been fattening their cattle on the abundant grass as a result of all the fucking rain.
And since they can't get a simple long range forecast remotely accurate, any wonder people don't believe them when they announce with near certainty what weather will be like in 50-100 years.

Good news is my lawn is looking good.
Bad news is I have to mow twice a week.
