Its that time of the year again. Get your cyclone kits ready (torch, radio, water, baked beans, pets and kids) and head for the shelters.
Unless you're a photographer, in which case you don your wet weather gear and find the most water proof camera you have and head for the coast.
This is last years effort.
Carlos was its given name. MAybe it had some hot Mediterranian blood in it.
On first impressions it looks pretty calm out there.

So a few of the locals dusted off their boards and tried out the slop.

Kids will play in anything wet. A cyclone doesn't seem to bother them as it should. Of course, if one were to be swept off the rocks I would have dived in after them - NOT!

Getting the shot can be risky. There were a few spectators waiting for me to be washed away. I disappointed them.

There always seems to be a certain peace at the end of the day when cyclones are about. Its as if someone is saying: ' all over for the day. Go home, have a good nights sleep, 'cause tomorrow I'm going to blow the **** out of this place.

This years effort is about to happen as I type. Tomorrow, a new one crosses the coast close by. If I live through it I'll post something.
