Abed for the night.
We've packed bags and got computers, etc all bagged up.
Windows are as secured as they can be.
Our sinks, showers, and drains have our improvised sandbags on them. Leaving the toilets for now and crossing fingers.
I don't think I'll sleep well, or long.

I have my list.
I need start with one thing.
I understand that as the storm's approach has slowed it will not only last longer but probably? possibly? mean it is increases in strength, too.
I'm stuck in executive function paralysis.

Slept, but not enough. It's near light now, so time to be up.
Breakfast, consisting of deciding what's most perishable and the biggest coffee I can deal with.
Then, the enplastification. Contact/self-adhesive bookcover on windows. Bagging up electronics, keepsakes, etc.

I close to where land meets sea.
On a normal night, in the quiet of the witching time*, I can concentrate to hear the soft, rumbling presence of the ocean.
When I stepped outside at about 8pm tonight I could hear cars, neighbours televisions... And a definite growing roar.

Got all the supplies we were able to.
Made our knock-off 'sand' bags for floor drains, etc.
We got just about everything either inside the house or into the little back shed.
Switched our solar panels off.
In the morning we bag electronics, power boards, keepsakes, etc.

#CycloneAlfred preparations continue.
We have three cars that are usually parked outside, two of which not often driven.
Those are having starting issues - we're off to have the battery of one tested, and think we've located a set of ignition leads for the other.
Also, huntjng for duct/gaffer tape.

#CycloneAlfred is now apparently heading straight for us. We're at the local shopping centre doing a last ditch buy. A little food, but mostly trying to anticipate things for bad outcomes.
We're going to make our own 'sandbags', need to cover the mesh top parts of our toilet windows, etc.

If I have one bag/backpack space for 'non-essentials', what can I take?
- Keepsakes
- Things to occupy my mind so it doesn't explode.

As a child I went through minor flooding (nothing swept away, but things ruined.)
I've not had to face this level of storm/cyclone threat before.
I walked around the house this morning taking photos of our everyday ephemera, trying to decide what to pack in a small keepsakes bag.

"Gold Coast residents in low-lying areas told to prepare to evacuate."
... So, we need prepare for flooding, /and/get ready to possibly have the roof blown off. Great.

The rain has stopped finally. Hopefully the roads will clear soonish. Our tap water is undrinkable, NBN is out, but electricity is back. #cycloneAlfred #northernRivers

I wonder why the power is still out here. They’re threatening 2 weeks before it’s all restored in NSW. Help. #multiplefaults #cycloneAlfred

Bloody #CycloneAlfred. I lived in #Darwin a little too long. This feels like a monsoon and I feel like I should be drinking my way through it.

We went away for the weekend & the garden fairies came & cleaned up our cyclone garden debris. We were waiting to order a council skip. 🤔😲
It’s not our neighbour. We thanked them & they said it wasn’t them. 😆 #mystery #grateful #cycloneAlfred

The cyclone is literally going in circles & has slowed down. It is now expected 24 hours later - between Friday 7pm & Saturday 7am. The waiting is stressful. The wind has picked up.
We’re prepared to stay & also ready to leave. Keep you posted.☺️

Feeling a bit nervous. All we can do it be prepared.
Last time a cyclone like this crossed near our area was 1974 & 1954.
Lots more development since then so it will be “interesting”. #CycloneAlfred
