We have been preparing; firstly helping to get Antidote as secure as possible. She is tied up in Hope Harbour marina. Genoa off, mainsail trussed up, extra ropes etc.
Plenty of work at home too; preparing to lose power and for the creek crossing to flood, as it will.
Meanwhile the surfers are enjoying some once-in-a-generation conditions, particularly at Kirra.
The critical thing for us is the creek crossing between us and the city.
One bit of good news for us was that the home batteries worked better than expected, providing power through the night for two fridges and a freezer and still having 61% in the morning.
Plenty rain at Springbrook, up the road above us.
Seven days loss of power took it's toll. Here are some Energex workers in the middle of the night trying to restore it.
