Cyclone Ulili is on her way. We got up early this morning and went to the harbour and filled up ten sand bags we got from Bunnings. These went across the pool where the water gets in and across the back garage door at the unit which seems to leak. Also across the front and back doors as we are expecting torrential rain with destructive winds.We drained the pool as far as we could and brought all the outside stuff inside. We took my car to the garage at the unit and cleared a space for Daves in the shed. We picked up 3 x 20 litre water containers and our torches etc plus a tarp, some ratchet straps and some rope from our camping gear stored at the unit. We also brought the car fridge and the spare 12 volt battery unit back to the house. I had already stocked up on non perishable food, so we are all set. We are charging all the stuff that needs charging, so now we just wait for the fun to start! It is windy and stormy looking but nothing out of the ordinary yet.
Will keep you posted...

Hi Julie,
I've been thinking of you for the last week, and I was glad to see Ulili has been downgraded even just a bit. We have rain, wind and high seas here but I'm sure it's nothing to what you will experiance. It sounds like this is something you've done before.
best wishes Jill
Hi Jill, we have prepared for this every year or so, but this time we might get a hit. I was 11 the last time a cyclone came this close. Still putting the yukky stuff off till the last minute, like taping the windows and moving the wooden outdoor dining set, but otherwise ready. The wind is starting to pick up now....
