Good old Kev caught this reporter off-guard!!

[Ross]

it's all good.

I have just spent this afternoon planning a trip down south just in case. I'll make the call in the morning after I see the updated weather forecast but it's not looking good for a trip to Brisbane.   
Jindabyne, Falls Creek, Great Ocean Road is looking good at the moment.

Sook.  Most we'll have here is a bit of rain.....

[Kiwifruit]

The flooding there must be heartbreaking, the scale of the clean up looks massive....... best wishes to all those affected across the ditch. Kia Kaha.

im ok, just wind and 210mm rain. all good. one place up near mackay had 1350mm rain in two days. thats hard to imagine.

All that mud and silt we are seeing. The entire contents of businesses all piled up ruined on the footpath. Then theres the crocs and snakes in the water.
Sometimes nature just has its way.
Just sad to see.

Parts of NZ have been warned we are likely to cop the tail of it so expect flooding.

For those who came in late... there was also some discussion on this in the rain thread...

Definitely an especially bad time for the yachties....

And as usual journos are often more hindrance than help... https://www.crikey.com.au/2017/03/29/journos-risk-life-and-limb-to-cover-cyclone-debbie/

I can't find the picture but to give you English peeps some sense of scale if this thing had hit the UK there wouldn't have been anywhere not severely impacted between Land's End and John o' Groats.
