UPDATE: (just figured out how to edit a post) Many thanks to all who have posted very helpful updates and links to news sources! The storm was less than expected, but holy cow that's a LOT OF WATER!
Best wishes to my Commonwealth cousins for a safe and speedy cleanup and return to regular daily life.
Okay Mastodon experts, is Mastodon even present in Australia?
Still looking for ANY word about the east coast cyclone!

@Dale_Poole Everyone I know there got very wet, but no major losses of life or property. @soc_i_ety@mstdn.ca
@AlliFlowers @soc_i_ety Thanks for the report! I heard there was one fatality, but considering the size of the storm and it's effects, it could have been so much worse.
I've had a look at some Australian news reports - it's an astounding amount of water all at once!
