We survived Cyclone Mick

Well we survived cyclone Mick. The power just came back on last night. Kudos to the Fiji Electric Authority for wanting to make money. There is a little trickle of water. Enough that I do not have to bath with swimming pool water. No real damage to the house or our lives. But I will say Mother Natures way of trimming the yard is a little brutal. Not what I would have done, but with a little chainsaw work and a lot of raking we'll have it right.

My boat faired much better than the yard. I moved it up the river and into the mangroves where she spent the night calm and quiet.

Here is a couple more images of the storm and when I get Rosie's video together I will post that.

This is just before it really got strong for us and also the last image I was able to get until it passed.

This is the last of it as it left us.

The storm lasted 9 hours before we got to the eye. Then a 2 hour break and the wind picked up again. Lucky for us the back side was not as strong and only lasted another 2 hours.

The town of Navua is 10km from us, and it was completely flooded. The flood reached almost 6 km from the river. 4 people lost their lives and most farmers lost their livelihood.

That was the first for the season and there is a total of 8 predicted for this season.

The fun is just beginning.

Thank you all for you kind words and thoughts. It is always nice to know people are supporting you in you life struggles.
