    Did you actually get any cyclone? One of the guys at work lives on the coast at Manly and said they got nothing more than a typical southerly.

    Here in the bum end of Brisbane you’d never know anything was going on except for the 24 hour rolling coverage by free to air TV. I think I had my channel 7 bingo card filled out by Thursday night (inundated, unprecedented, raging, charging…)

    Now I gotta go pack up all the sandbags and tie downs and put away the generators etc and I never even got a chance to use them :-(

    Charged the EV at standard electricity rates to make sure we had it available for V2L too. Never paid more than 8c/kWh to charge it before. Feels like I’m back in an ICE paying all that money to fill the car up.

    Legit disappointed that a once in a lifetime event was such a nothingburger. I’m not going to live long enough to see another cyclone reach Brisbane so that was it… My Haylley’s Comet moment and it was lame.

      Well we got plenty of awful wind and rain yes. It was quite horrible and there’s lots of devastation.
