Tropical Cyclone Evan Update

I took this video at 8.30am this morning from home (Vaigaga) of the cyclone at Category 2 with 50-60 knot winds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZyz-MEWJM&list=UUSqH7EN8l9rAUMO8hOXzlcQ&index=1 

Next door's power line fell down through our fence this morning so will have to get that looked at after the storm passes.  The power is going on and off now, town is busy with people sorting out supplies.  I am at USP Campus where weather is not too bad and we have the generator running at the moment.  Banana and Paw Paw trees are not faring too well and there are a lot of shredded leaves around.  The Old Man dog is very wet and very excited bouncing around.  He knows something is up!

We are battening down the hatches to ride it out and while we have generated power, will catch up on a few blog posts that we have been meaning to do for several months so watch this space!
