Crazy February!

This month has been nutso and once again my blogging agenda has gone out the window!

We've had terrible weather with several cyclones including TC Carlos that came right over the top of us.

It kept us on Red Alert for over 30 hours & took out power to over 250 homes. We were OK through the cyclone, if a bit bored. And when the serious winds on the back side of TC Carlos hit, my youngest Ridgeback MatildaLily decided that she didn't like cyclones anymore - she gave me the very worried puppy look "Mama, I don't like the noisy storm, please make it stop!" after she hustled into my office, snugged up against me and just shook.

Happily, there was very little damage, just a bit of mess to clean up!

I've been busy with shoots of all kinds and hope to get photos up to share with you all ASAP. This guy will keep an eye on me to make sure I get it done!

NEWS: Cyclone Bianca - Exmouth on RED ALERT!

Exmouth has just gone on to RED ALERT in preparation for Cyclone Bianca, a category 3.

The police are cruising the town with their sirens on and announcing our new status. Red Alert means everyone needs to take shelter immediately and stay sheltered until the alert passes.

Outside, the wind is picking up a bit but things are relatively calm so far. We are expecting the winds to increase as the afternoon rolls into evening and the rains should start hitting soon, too.

Hopefully this will be a simple storm with little damage or scariness!
