Tropical Cyclones

In the lobby downstairs they put up this sign. So we headed upstairs to google it. It turns out there are 3 stages for a cyclone (T1, T3 and T8). If it gets to a T8 then depending on the time this is called you don't have to go to work!! But if the warning is cancelled before 12 noon then you have to go in :-(

The warning very quickly moved from this to a T3 and then a T8. But I never went back downstairs to photograph that! This was the first T8 in 13 months and I couldn't help but think that it was all designed so we didn't feel homesick!! However the rain is warm and when it rains it rains. There is no working up to it with some spitting rain......it just rains!

So the following day Mark had a day off work.....
