Cyclone Sharon Devastates Ipswich Giant Hoax
April 1st 2009 01:59
Hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with their shock. Victims were wandering around aimlessly, muttering 'Faaackinell'.
Fortunately Cyclone Shazza struck before Centreink opened but three areas of historic burnt out cars were blown away.
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 cartons of VB and Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals, but are in urgent need of flannelette shirts, Winnie blues and Ugh boots.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, Jewellery from Kmart, and Bone China from Big W.
One resident - Tracy Maree Goodhead, a 16-year-old mother of 2 said 'It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two Joachim and River slept through it all.'
In spite of the large numbers of looters and thieves in the city, a police spokesman denied there had been an increase.
“Looting, robberies and thefts are unaffected and no more frequent than as normally,” he said.
