Hello everyone. Before we get into the meat of this update, I first need to specify something for the sake of context (or else I wouldn't be able to talk about it). So, you may or may not know I'm from the Australian state of Queensland, though I've never really specified whereabouts in Queensland I live. That place in question being Brisbane, Queensland's most populous city home to 2.7 million people and the state's capital. Yes, that's the same place set to host the 2032 Summer Olympics (and where 'Bluey' is made and set).
The reason I'm saying this is because we are in the path of a cyclone (AKA hurricane or typhoon). Referred to as 'Tropical Cyclone Alfred', it's expected to make landfall within the next 24 hours as a category 2 cyclone which is defined as 10-minute sustained winds of 89-117km/h (or 55-72mph, well okay that's more akin to a tropical storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale). But still, this cyclone has the potential to directly or indirectly take the power grid offline (also the whole panic-buying phase has been and gone). If this happens then I can't guarantee I'll be able to get online everyday (it really depends on what's in store for us), so there's that. But as someone who lives in an area that doesn't get cyclones often, I don't really know what to expect, nor how we'll be affected. But whatever the case, I hope we manage to get through it all in one piece.
TDLR:
1. There's a cyclone in my area.
2. That cyclone might result in me being absent for an unspecified period of time.
