Uncle Jock has temporarily abandoned us while he trains for some event which will be held in November .... the nationals, or something?
Kott3r made a brief re-appearance but I think he's too busy doing the student thing to hang out with us old farts.
Newcastle didn't fare as badly with the weather as some other parts - 6000 homes in Maitland were evacuated on Sunday and parts of Singleton were on standby for evacuation. The Central Coast copped it pretty hard Friday and Saturday - we've been without power since Friday and were flooded in on Saturday. Haven't heard from Climbo or Pshaw so we don't know how they fared, but there were still 15,000-odd homes without power as of 8am this morning. Lots of trees down, so here's hoping neither of them copped a tree on the house, or anything hairy like that.
