At least it's only half the price it used to be - but still doing it under duress! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 16d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 22/02/15 11:31 AM Share Posted 22/02/15 11:31 AM I think it's fair that having just left cyclone country a few things piss me off.Moany bitches on Facebook about power loss.. you just got hit by a f*cking cyclone, what did you think was going to happen. No it isn't ergon energys fault and they are trying to fix the problem.Drivers at traffic lights when there is no power. 90% of drivers were doing really well. I resisted the urge to start directing traffic. Then you get the one or two impatient C-Bombs that f*ck it for everyone else.Tree branches on roads.. don't just stop or weave in and out. Get out and drag the f*cking thing off the road! 20 seconds seriously! If it's a proper sized tree you have an excuse.Moany bitches on Facebook about losing the door to their garden sheds. f*ck me my aunt lost her roof. My grandma got someone else's roof in her bedroom and my mother lifted part of her roof which we had to chain and bolt down during the eye of the storm.I know it's tough on a lot of people right now (especially tough since I'm back to my aircon in a whole different town) but seriously so many more people need to be thankful how little was actually damaged. History shows us what happens when category 5 storms make landfall and we were very lucky it was a cat 3 before it hit any significant townships (sorry St Lawrence but pop 10 isn't significant).I got to spend some time with EMQ helping out yesterday they had 270 jobs logged during the actual storm. Of these multiple people claimed lives were at risk because they'd lost part of a roof forcing men and women from the emergency services to respond when the reality was they could have moved into a different room of the house. One bloke even asked the firies mid storm why they hadn't bought a tarp.I saw some bloody great humans in rocky and yeppoon. My favourite was my grans and aunts next door neighbors and all they did for other people who weren't home during the storms to minimize damages.But I saw some shocking examples of absolute bottom feeders that shouldn't be allowed to breed. Including one bloke who went out for smokes during the eye of the storm. Had a car accident again forcing the emergency services to respond during the storm. He would have been screwed royally if phone towers were knocked out sooner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to add one to your list, all those that weren't affected by it but were in the warning area and are pissed off about the massive beat-up for no reason. The fact that it went to the west of the range rather than hugging the coast made a massive difference - these same wankers would have be screaming about not enough being done otherwise.

Oh and add to the above list, the bottom-feeders that flog the generators that are hooked up to traffic lights. That's just superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
