Latest word here is that no one was killed. At least there's good news there. although the flooding and damage to people's homes in quite extensive. Lot of hardship involved, unfortunately.

Although I do note that the disater coordinator spokesman has his shit together, to whit:

State Disaster Coordination Center spokesman Peter Rekers warned residents to stay on their guard for deadly animals stirred up by the storm.

"Most of the casualties and deaths resulting from cyclones happen after the storm has passed," he warned. "Keep your kids away from flooded drains, be aware of snakes and crocodiles. Those guys will have had a bad night too."
