Brolly's not much help in 100km+ winds. ;-) Joking aside, this next storm, if it follows predictions, is going to be scary. Category 4 (very destructive), moving very fast; tracking, speed, and intensity similar to the one (Larry) that caused huge destruction near Innisfail in March 2006. http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65002.shtml TJ: Hot water is not a problem, unless our solar panels get damaged or disconnected. Electricity almost surely will be out for awhile, possibly days. The downside of living in what's otherwise a great part of the world. But I must say I much prefer cyclones to massive snowstorms!
