    Soldier here so not going in isn't an option, and work is never cancelled.

    I fit my sons bike down the side entrance where its sheltered but had to put mine up against my house wall.

    My cars are out on the green because a tree outside my house has snapped in half and is threatening to go completely.

    Mine is fine so far, but the wind has picked up again in the last hour. I echo your thanks for the cover removal suggestion.

    I sacrificed our lawnmower for the bike, the mower is tucked in between a wall and bins, bike is locked up in the shed. Our fence, gate and 2 trees didn't make it. Gotta get the fence sorted before the dogs come back from the kennels.

    Bike is fine. I'll give it a wipe down later, oil the chain and put the cover back on. Can't see myself going out on it today. Too much risk of debris. Tomorrow.

    Go for a spin 1st,then oil your chain the minute you get back. A Warm chain soaks in the oil better.

    Bike survived fine, I moved the bins out of the way and put the bike right up against the wall on the centre stand. Didn't budge at all, but I'm damn happy people said to take the cover off of it.

    Drove in to work today, all seems good.

    All okay here. Rode in this morning, it's getting chilly again.

    Saying that, my bike is really dirty since the storm. I can't see through the grime in the mirrors. I'll be washing it this weekend.

    Same as. Was surprised with the crap that was on mine. A good wash before the next storm lands ... rinse and repeat.

    We are lucky the storm dropped very little rain. Wind is bad enough, but it's high water that really does the damage.

    Glad everyone stayed safe, you can't be too careful. 3 Dead and two of those were travelling.
    Only just got the power back on after 28hrs still no mobile service and landlines down as well.
    Windows covered in salt and I am 3km from the sea.

    F**k sake just copped I know the woman that died.
    Didn't know her name before now but bumped into her regularly.
    She surprised me one day when she started admiring my bike and I told her I'll bring her for a spin sometime.:(
