Typhoon Mangkhut hit home yesterday afternoon, hit real hard.
Luckily I was not lazy on Saturday, and got well-prepared. Cleared the roof garden, emptied the balconies and secured all windows.
We got through ok, mighty worried at times.
The dogs went hiding under the bed for 6 hrs.



Cheers,
Slug

Looks like one of them wrecked the building it was attached to pretty badly.
