Today our rain and wind warnings were raised to red and a precautionary Civil Defence Emergency was declared.
The wind has been strong and the rain heavy all day and our lawn looks like a lake but we are told it will get worse tonight and tomorrow. Neither of us has been outside today.
Many trees are down across roads and power lines.
That said, the house is high off the ground and we are fine. We have plenty of food and some bottles of water just in case.
Above is a photo from our sunroom window (no sun). There should be some hills in the background.
Hope you have put the windmill safe!
ReplyDeleteYes, windmill set on concrete and sails tied down.
DeleteGood!
DeleteYou seem to be getting it far worse than us in Hamilton...and it still hasn't hit land yet. We will have to see what follows overnight and breakfast time.
Be safe!! Sounds as though it's a helluva storm
ReplyDeleteYes, still getting worse but we are safe and dry.
DeleteHold on tight.
ReplyDeleteLiterally. I think I would be blown over if I ventured outside.
