Back on Line After Cyclone Yasi

A Big Hello To Our Customers!

We apologize for the fact that the offices of CSA could not be contacted for the last week.

As you may or may not be aware, one of the largest cyclones ever to hit the Australian coastline crossed around 200 klm north of Townsville last Wednesday night.

Cyclone Yasi did massive damage to the coastal towns of Mission Beach, Cardwell and to the sugar town of Tully.

The city of Townsville was not in the eye of the cyclone where the winds are strongest but according to the media, we were hit by category two winds of between 125kph to 170 kph.
While there was little structural damage to buildings in the city, there was considerable damage to signs, trees, power lines and transformers.

Shortly after the cyclone, only 15% of the city of Townsville had power.

The offices of CSA were in one of the worst affected areas and power was only restored late yesterday afternoon – almost a week after the cyclone hit.

So please bear with us while we catch up on the support calls, emails and shipping that has accumulated over that period. We will do our very best to respond in a timely manner.

The last few months has seen a variety of intense weather patterns throughout Australia.

With floods in central and southern Queensland and Victoria, bushfires in Western Australia and extreme heat in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, the people of Australia have suffered many trials and tribulations.

We at CSA are extremely proud of the instrumental role that Campbell Scientific equipment and staff have played in monitoring these events and in many cases, minimizing the loss of life and property.

With the help of you, our loyal customers, we hope that we can continue to provide such service and support to the Australian community.

Regards,

The Team at CSA
