No, the last one that looked like that that made a hell of a mess. Missed us though fortunately...
We've been lucky these last few in Florida. Even Ian last year gave us a wide berth.

We might be lucky with this one right here where we are...Both TC Larry, then later TC Yasi, just missed us, and both had similar track maps... Fingers Crossed...
But for some idea of the size of these things... Here you go...

The last one we had here, kind of bounced off Australia, and made a big mess of New Zealand a week later, that was two years ago and the damage is still obvious.. Oh the Antipodes, a great place to live most of the time...
looking at flights mate, have we got a bloody bullseye painted on our house or what ?...
. I have been through 2 , my wife 3.. They are about as much fun as a bum full of smarties, and No don't ask me how I know that, read it on the internet I think..If I disappear for a few days after Sunday/Monday.. You know we have no power or internet, again..

I spent 8 years living in Grand Cayman and both my kids were born there. Hurricane Ivan passed through and flattened everything. Wasnt fun watching my roof fly away or living with no power for the next two months especially when I worked for the power company. Thinking about the kids going though that was a big part of why I moved away.
Hope this is missing you - I have a brother near Cairns so we are all having to cross our fingers
So TC Jasper looks like a king hit on us, we expect to loose power for a while... But, here is an image of the eye of it from 30,000 ft and offshore, only a Cat 2 fortunately.....

All good, the cleanup starts tomorrow,
Looks like you took the worst side of it. Glad it wasnt bigger and things can start to get back to normal now.
