Certainly don't have any hibernating animals here! Except for those frogs and fish and stuff that can survive underground without water until it rains.
I didn't get to see much of Perth, but I liked what I saw! The airfare was pretty painful, but it's a long trip... and a few years ago it would have cost a lot more, I reckon.
Cyclone Yasi is way bigger/scarier than Cyclone Tracy was... yes, most places are better built now than Darwin was in the 1970s, but this is a 500km-wide storm compared to 50 or 100km. Apparently Tracy was "only" a category 4, as well.
There's a storm chaser web cam feed on the Triple M site, of all places... Can't see much at the moment. Could have done without one of the young guys going on about how "cool" it was.
I suppose I should get to bed... Tool was pretty good by the way, although not as good as the last time I saw them. At least they played Lateralus, and what an epic long version it was too, complete with two bonus percussionists (one from Jakob) and a fairly awesome long three-way drum/percussion solo.
Happy Groundhog Day!
Anyway, am thinking of the people in the way of cyclone Yasi, that is some seriously scary shit. I think it's definitely comparable to Hurricane Katrina, although there isn't as large a city in the way of Yasi.
Government is useless on any level from the sounds of things.
