Thank you for posting. A poignant reminder of the 'force of nature', and at Christmas as well. It puts our 'Great Storm of 1987' (and similar) into perspective. We visited Darwin in 1994 and found it a vibrant, rebuilt city, a case of 'out of the ashes...'. 

Today is also the 20th anniversary of the tsunami of 2004 which claimed so many lives. A different but similar force of nature at work. RIP to all those who lost their lives in these two terrible events.
