I would have had to go no matter what in the next half hour, or else water would come in through the door down the stairs again. So that positive news improved my mood a bit. It was nice up there actually.

There was a lot of water ingress at the balcony sliding door, but that was to be expected as it's not fully sealed. Lots of towels kept it at bay

Jett just slept away as the 200 KM winds bashed against the doors all night. I moved his bed away from the door in case of catastrophe. He really isn't afraid of weather AT ALL. We call him the Thundercat

This storm feels about the same strength as Mangkhut in 2018, but went past us much faster and stayed further south. There will still be a lot of destruction, but I don't think it will be as landscape altering as that one was. Buildings around me look intact, unlike last time

There's going to be some insane videos coming out, like this from Ocean Park hotel

All good now, thanks! Police came to check on the village last night, and that wasn't followed up by ambulances showing up so I think everyone made it out OK. There's still that giant chunk of tree blocking my main path out of here
