The news...

ACMS
Well in that case QF are lucky there was no damage to their Jet.
The news showed a lot of up rooted ( big ) trees in DN and a lot of flooding.
Must have been quite a wind blowing.
Maybe it was a case of Journo's being journo's and exaggerating? (been known to happen)

There WERE some trees uprooted, but the damage wasn't that bad. Some blackouts but it was pretty much business as usual in Darwin by 10:00am.

Although some GA companies evacuated, the GA apron was pretty full overnight (all a/c tied down, of course). AFAIK there wasn't any aircraft damage.

DIVOSH!
