The Cyclone

Cyclone Larry,which hit the Queensland coast this week also hit Morylian,which is where cousins Rick and Lotty live. They are fine, thank goodness but because they were in the eye of the storm, they have sustained a great deal of damage. I spoke to their daughter Ingrid tonight and the house is pretty good except a Norfolk Pine fell on the varandah roof but seems not to have damaged the main house. Their palms and all the gardens are completely ruined and I believe the glasshouse is down and a lot of orchids ruined. They have food & water, rainwater, . They have a generator for the fridge . No power but gas so can cook and boil the water. I'll try them tomorrow night and hope the phone works as apparently it is off and on.
