We have moved a few things and prepped a few areas at work but no one is expecting it to be a big deal.

More wind and rain than normal but high damage isn't expected (by Cyclone standards).


I was working at the Port when the last big one came through...

Watered my veggie garden Saturday and Sunday.
Not a spot of rain.

Very slight breeze to dry the washing on the line.


Not the worst Cyclone I've even seen!

Bit more than a breeze Sunny Coast. They said 40 k gusts but some  way more i reckon. Played golf in it, sure were some crazy shots. My biggest cyclone experience was Trixie in 74. 246 k winds. Hard to describe that power.

Over here 75mph winds is a monthly accurance and in the windy season autumn its not unusual to have 100mph+ gusts .
