In true Chillagoe form, none of the rain bands have dropped more than a spec on skin. Mid afternoon, there were a few short nice cool gusts. But it's stayed pretty quiet, at least for the time being.

Chillagoe is included in the "Warning zone", so outside is clean and tidy, and hopefully after rain (if we get any) my decks will be nice and clean. Neighbours haven't bothered that I can see.

This thing is decidedly slowwww, I feel for you all on the coast -- waiting waiting waiting.
