Thanks Uncle, it must be pretty bad, they have evacuated the hospitals and nursing homes, flown the patients and residents to Brisbane - and sent the animals in animal welfare refuge shelters out of the region, free of cost.
Meanwhile I am sitting here a thousand miles to the south, sweltering in front of a pedestal fan, the humidity is dripping from my forehead...
Saying a prayer for the very apprehensive people along the coastline way up north.

Let us hope your and the many prayers being held up for their safety is answered in the positive. You must be close to the south western border of your province, to meet a thousand mile quotation. Not soliciting your direct where about with that statement. Just an assumption.
And I guess you rather feel a bit cooler then warm as indicated. Hang in there Fred.

You need to go to Chicago and get some cool to take back home!
