Jeff,

not underwater yet, but we are getting really buffered by wind and driving rains. Trees around us are fairly moving around, just as long as they stay up !! All airports within cooee are closed, schools are closed for two days, all government offices are closed, shops etc. The hurricane has just reached land about 80-100 miles away to the north east, but the rains and winds are still stretching for hundreds of miles around the centre.

Areas that are along the coast are definitely under water, there are a lot of beach areas which really are just old sandbanks that they have built on and really they shouldn't have, but people like to have a beachside house!!! Well soon they will be closer to the water than just beachside!!!! They will be in it!!
