Fingers crossed that the cyclone decides to beetle off out to sea, well away from land, ships, people & creatures & blows itself out where it doesn't do any harm. The good thing about cyclones is that they at least can be predicted so everyone has some warning.
Perhaps in the future they'll be able to predict quakes as well.
I'm very glad not to be a parent of school kids now; it was hard enough back when I did it, with high school uniforms costing an arm & a leg. I was lucky that there was an op shop close at that time so between what they had, what I could buy & what the school was selling from their lost box, we managed it.
Possibly there are grants to help with such things now but I suspect people will have to jump through several hoops to even be eligible.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
