Safe

Well we, here in the blessed town of Muroran where we are all God's children, dodged the weather bomb. We had some strong winds on Tuesday night but thankfully nothing too serious - no blackouts and hence no need to go the "full MacGyver" when it came to our ablations.
Further east though they bore the brunt of nature's fury ("Rarrrrrgghhh!!!" etc.) as the photos below show.
Mind you, there is a good side to all of this fury ("Rarrrrrrghhh!!!"); there is a terrific swell pounding away down at the beach and while dropping, it looks like there will still be something left come Saturday morning.
