Hey all.
We were okay at home (Ulverstone), it was blowing very hard in Burnie, and according to she who must be obeyed, blowing and bucketing down in Devonport at about 5pm last night. Then we both got home to Ulvy at about 5:30 and it was quite a lot better, I was quite surprised because the highway between Penguin and Ulverstone was littered with debris, including three trees that had been blown over into the left-hand lane. The police had closed the lane and were watching while someone with a chainsaw went to work on them. I'm told by people in both Devonport and Burnie that the power was out for short periods yesterday, and equipment here at work certainly leads me to believe that in Burnie it continued to cut out during the night. I noticed a cruise-ship leaving Burnie yesterday afternoon too, that would've been a fun leg of their journey, the waves were huge (mind you, a rough trip away from Burnie is better than none at all).
Luckily though, there was no great damage to us or anyone we know.
