The first hit a few days ago. The Second is a category Five (the highest) and will batter 500km of populated coastline in about half an hour with a full evening of 300KMH winds (187 MPH).
Currently the SES (emergency services) are chasing around a few idiots who have refused to evacuate and are now in direct danger.
If there's anyone on the board willing to say a quick prayer for the folks up there, it would be both timely and very much appreciated.
