Re: Batten down the hatches
Sorry to disappoint anyone who was waiting for the storm, it's still on it's way but it has dallied a while gathering momentum over the Tasman and seemingly Tasmania has taken a bit of a battering.

Re: Batten down the hatches
It is pretty messy out there, but we have had worse, at least our chairs and table are still on the deck. 
It seems to be very on and off - one minute blowing a gale, a brief flash of lightening and a few rumbles then it seems to calm a bit. Was a bit scary driving home from work and getting blown across the road with lots of debris, tree branches and stuff getting blown around.

We went up Sky Tower on Friday night and they were still doing the bungy jumps!

Thought this might be an appropriate thread to bring back after just seeing the forecast. Crazy weather

Re: Batten down the hatches
As usual the forcasts were wrong.
Weather men in NZ think gusts of 60kmh are bad, thats 35mph
i've had farts that have caused a bigger disturbance than that.
