Newcastle suffered the worst storm in 30 years on the weekend just past. Some say it was classified as a Category 1 Cyclone, which is pretty far out.
A ship ran aground in the wee hours of Friday morn right smack on one of the city's most iconic beaches: Nobbies.
No one on the ship was injured but there's the ever present threat of fuel leakage if the ship's hull integrity is compromised. So far so good. As of this writing the port authority is awaiting the arrival of tugs from far afield as Singapore and Melbourne.
Our place only got a bit of water in the garage, no big deal. The biggest tragedy for us was that our internet connection was down for a good five (5) minutes.
Others weren't so lucky.
