Hi guys.
Thanks for your thought.
We just got the power back on. It went out just after midnight.
House and Family all fine.
My gear seems relatively ok.
One broken Tube ring, one broken electric focuser bracket, and a lot of water inside the scopes, heater control box and mount electronics.
I had one spare tube ring the right size, so that is ok.
I will make another electric focuser bracket, and I have dried everything out .
I stripped the scopes down completely to dry them. Now to put them all back together.
Could have been a lot worse.
The most annoying part is that while we were monitoring the weather on the weather site (BOM), they cancelled the 'Severe Weather' warning about 1 hour before it hit!
Otherwise I would've brought everything inside.
But fortunately my gear seems to have survived ok.
The real test (electronics, collimation etc) will be when I fire it all up later.
