Quasi, I'm at the pub, drinking schooners of Tooheys Old, having a schnitty, trying to win a meat tray, waiting for the footy to come on the tele AND watching the news about the hurricane.
Hope you are safe and well mate.

I like meat trays. I've never won one though.

As for the first half of that... fuck, man...

Thanks, woberto. Wasn't bad for me, some steady winds around 40-45 knots and not really much rain. The worst was the multiple tornado warnings (tornado warning means there is one near though not necessarily on the ground) last evening, like 7 warnings in two or three hours, and this was long after the eye of the hurricane had been at its closest at about 300 km away. I'm a kilometer from the river and miles from the harbor but people who live near the water had flooding into their homes from the storm surge which was up to about two meters above normal sea level. My power flickered once. That expensive waterfront property gets far more expensive when this happens.
