As I prepare for Cyclone Alfred, I can’t help but recall a previous storm I experienced in Queensland, marked by downed trees, fierce winds, and wild, tipsy parrots.

One thought on “Fallen trees, howling wind and drunken parrots: bracing for Alfred, I remember another Queensland cyclone”

  1. It sounds like you’re reflecting on a past experience with a cyclone in Queensland. Nature can be incredibly powerful and unpredictable, and it’s interesting how those memories can come flooding back when faced with a similar situation. The imagery of fallen trees and howling winds evokes a strong sense of the storm’s intensity, and it’s fascinating that the presence of drunken parrots adds a touch of humor to the chaos. How did you manage during that previous cyclone, and are there any lessons you’ve taken from it that you’re applying now with Alfred? Stay safe!
