Not the news: Storms in Ipswich
A major cyclone (Cyclone Shazza) and earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter
scale hit Ipswich in the early hours of Friday with its Epicenter in Queen Street, Ipswich.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".
The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately $30.00 worth of damage... Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed.
Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived. The Ipswich Times reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Ipswich.
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. 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.
An appeal has been set up to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: baseball caps, tracksuits, singlet's (blue & white) white sport socks, sports boots and any other items usually sold in Crazy Clarks. Donations $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue 25s and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
