Fredric March and March Syncs
and look what happens -
"A man in his 40s was critically injured when a tree fell on him as severe thunderstorms lashed south-east Queensland last night.
Emergency crews worked through the evening after the storm brought down trees and cut power to 50,000 homes.Emergency Management Queensland (EMQ) says a man was running at St Lucia in Brisbane's inner west when he was struck by a tree.
He was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital with head injuries.
Another man also injured at St Lucia was taken to Royal Brisbane Hospital in a serious but stable condition."

The storm hitting Brisbane March 24th |
WTF??? |
Ipswich councillor Paul Tully says the storms were furious and the full extent of damage will not be realised until later today.
"There were very intense winds, hail and very heavy rain," he said.
"There was hail hitting cars outside the shopping centre and most people were caught unawares because it moved in from the west very, very quickly.""

Hail Cometh to Brisbane last night |
Two people from St.Lucia
St Lucia, Queensland
were injured in the storm that hit Brisbane,
" a man was running at St Lucia in Brisbane's inner west when he was struck by a tree...
Another man also injured at St Lucia was taken to Royal Brisbane Hospital in a serious but stable condition."
Lucia means light, oddly enough.
" Saint Lucia enjoys a high degree of popularity in Scandinavian countries, where her feast day is celebrated every December 13th.
Her connection to light is considered particularly important in these northern countries that receive so little sunlight in the winter months."

" Imagine the sun setting over the Brisbane River, thousands of runners and
walkers enjoying a March evening ... pounding the pavement, putting their
bodies to the test.
Grimaces, smiles and a few frowns are some of the expressions temporarily occupying the faces of participants ... finally as the sun sets, expressions change as men, women and children of all ages beam coming across the finishing line. "

UPDATE ON ABOVE STORY 12 April 2013
"The triathlon community has paid
tribute to a strong competitor and "wonderful person" killed by a
falling tree branch during a fun run.
Canadians Joe and Laura Kelly were nearing the end of a two-year stint in Australia when Joe was hit by a large branch which fell in high winds during a St Lucia fun run on March 24.
Mr Kelly, 58, an avid triathlete and distance runner, was competing in the Brisbane Twilight Running Festival when a storm hit, bringing torrential rain and strong wind gusts.
He survived for five days before succumbing to head injuries on Friday.
The Canadian couple moved to Australia in 2010 for work, but were nearing the end of their travels and planned to spend their last three months touring the country before returning to Canada to retire."
