Hmmm, Hamish is now a Cat 3 - a huge system with an impressive eye. Luckily, it seems to be scooting down the coast, and not coming in for landfall at this stage, though these things change.

It's just started raining here, not a lot of wind yet. We have 6m tides this weekend so storm surge may be a worry as well. Lets hope it stays out to sea as it could be cat4 by tomorrow not good.

It was declared a Cat 4 storm at midday, today, and it's still intensifying. This storm could go anywhere...storms this size usually go where they want.
