Cyclone Carlos day 2.

Hi there,

An update on tropical cyclone Carlos.
Things seems to get better, and hopefully Carlos won't come back.
In fact I even believe that he has already been downgraded to Ex-Cyclone by the BOM, and Darwin airport is reopen.

Still we had a lot of wind in Darwin last night, and here are a few photos first two from our back yard, then from the same park as yesterday, just to show you what the local playground looks like now.

Fallen pawpaw tree.


Bananas on the clothesline.


The playground.


The swings.


Broken down.


Remember the big tree from yesterday?

Last night the trees were falling in the opposite direction than on the previous day.

So even if so far our home has not suffered any damage, unlike around 30 home that got flooded along Rapid Creek (a suburb of Darwin) every things is wet or damp at the best, and every body start to show some signs of cabin fever...

But hey, it could be worse.
Have a good day,
Me.

Cyclone Carlos

Hi there,

The city of Darwin is now on cyclone warning, and the cyclone is named Carlos.
It is not arrived yet, and we are not even sure if it will hit the city.
But I just wanted to show you a couple of images of the pre-cyclone effect on the neighborhood park.
Nothing massive, but still some strong winds already...

It is more or less planned by the forecast experts that the cyclone Carlos should hit Darwin tonight or the following day.
So we do not know yet if we are going to spend the night at home or at the shelter...

But hey, it could be worse.
Have a good day,
Me.
