Ahh yeah, TC Piss and Wind. I prepared for that disappointment as well.

Oh we got pretty smashed here mate. No electricity for about a week wasn't fun. Have never seen so many trees downed. Couldn't get to work due to the ferries not running for a while either.

Okay, I thought you dodged it down there too

We got a certain amount of protection from Straddie I suppose. It was still a pretty mental experience.

I'm "glad" (as such) you actually had something happen.

I had to spend a week "preparing" and having to postpone jobs and make up sandbags and restack everything I'd just taken out of the shed for a tip run back in it again because of the massive storm that was coming... only to have a gentle breeze and a spritz of rain at its peak.

Yes I can see how that would be annoying. But on the plus side you copped no damage.
