Default Good luck to people "üp north"....

Just wanted to say Good luck to the loads of people I know "up north", and to all the other posters up there, and all their friends/family....

Stay safe, heed the warnings, they are genuine as this is a very serious event.

Be good to see you all checking in again safe and sound afterwards

I've just had a moment of awful realisation - having been a Southern softie for most of my life, I'm now a Northern Bastard!

I think with everything being almost ready now - just got to pack supplies to take with us - we aren't having the calm before the storm, it's chaos in the house as everyone is just overexcited and silly, but at least it's passing the time albeit giving me a headache!

Hope everyone gets through this ok

A few months after I moved to Bermuda there was a hurricane. We had a couple of days notice as it made its way towards us and I remember announcing to my boss that I was going home to "take the cushions off the patio furniture". My Boss looked at me funny and said "[Bermudashorts] you need to move the furniture".

This was a mere Cat 1 or 2 hurricane and Bermuda has concrete houses so it was never a really serious situation although precations are always necessary.

I hope everyone is prepared and keeps safe and well.

Just tried to book a trip to Green Island for tomorrow.
They said it's closed.

Darn it.

I thought I may get a cheap excursion even without asking for my loco discount.

Sillyoldbag has asked me to post that she and her family are all tucked up safe in the apartment they have acquired for the duration! Its very swish but has no internet
At least they are safe

Was reading some comments from a friend of a friend who lives up in Cairns and they're being very casual about it all. Sincerely hope they don't come unstuck.
