We are under a cyclone watch. All they keep saying is that a trough is forming somewhere out in the ocean. Now I'm sure to a lifer here in Darwin that means something. To me it sounds like any ship that's floating near this trough is going to be swallowed up.
But currently it is a watch, when it becomes a warning then we start to get a little worried. If they name it, which it will be named Grant, then it's a cyclone. Now that doesn't mean it's going to come ashore where we live. For the past 4 years running they have predicted cyclones for Christmas and they have never materialized. We have to clean up the backyard of anything that can fly around. Leave a window open in the front and back of the house a crack to even the pressure and if it gets really bad sit in the laundry room. We have lots of supplies, water and food. But someone said fill up the bath so that we can use that water for the toilet, which is a good idea. They predict Saturday for it to hit but I think that this storm is tied up somewhere in some sort of bureaucratic paper shuffle and can't figure out what to do. I'll try to get some video if I can. Everyone here isn't worried because they are all flying out on Friday. Now thats' confidence!
We'll keep everyone posted, boy this is a time I miss the Weather Channel.
