Re: Climate Disasters ---- Cyclones
Hey Shaz51 thanks for sharing your encounters with cyclones! What a testament to the strength of the human spirit and resilience
I think that as humans we tend to think we are in charge of the planet but it only takes a natural event to throw things into chaos and we realise that we are subject to nature. Fires, cyclones, viruses - maybe we need to return to nature a bit more and try to live in sync with it. I can't imagine what it is like to be in the midst of a cyclone. Your description of being in the eye of the storm and the feeling of the air on the day, kind of reminds me of driving the highway and seeing the total devastation of the fires - smoudering trees, no green, no birds, no animals - it is an eerie feeling. But, when you start to see the regrowth and the animals return - its a comforting feeling that things can get better given some time.

Re: Climate Disasters ---- Cyclones
Oh no @Shaz51 that’s Terrible! I’m so sorry to hear. Is there anything you need help with immediately? If you’re on the south coast- contact the bushfire centre in the individual towns.
Someone had a house fire in my town 1 monthish after the bushfires, they have been helping that family.
I wish you the best!

Re: Climate Disasters ---- Cyclones
Hello @Burnt , @Daisydreamer , @Frangipani1 , @MDT
@Former-Member , @Burnt , the insurance company has decided to settle for a settlement
Now we have to first find a demolition company to remove the rubble
Wonder if you have been through this with your insurance company xxxx

Re: Climate Disasters ---- Cyclones
Hi @Shaz51 apologies can’t help on this front as we where uninsured. The government funded the bushfire clean up for my state.
Sorry to be no help here xx
