traveled down to broome in cyclone watch weather. we got into town and went first to the visitors center where a worker was panicking and said everyone was closing due to the cyclone. we freaked out and went shopping right away and bought heaps of alcohol, food and clothes on sale. it was pouring but we made it and enjoyed a really awesome, laid back new years in a co-workers flat (she's off traveling). we settled in and cooked up an amazing meal of bbq chicken (jose's special sauce made it excellent), salad and roasted chili potatoes. yum! enjoyed the fireworks on tv, drank some wine and beer, ate grapes (peruvian tradition), burnt cinnamon (another peruvian tradition), lit some sparklers, and popped open a bottle of bubbly. went to bed right after midnight because we are old and were grateful for feeling fresh the next day!
Sounds like you made it to safety just in time.
