Yeah, about that 🌀 in Adventures in paradise

I'm supposed to be at work, as we're reopening today, apparently. The managers are in early to do checks to get the all-clear.  I had a request come through last night to start early at 7:30am (I normally start at 9am).  But the wind was absolutely wild last night.  Far worse than when the cyclone passed over.  So freaking weird.   Here we are, having had the all-clear that the cyclone is now just a tropical low, but the weather outside is anything but.

Long story short, I made it about 500 meters on the way to work when I gave up and turned around and came home.  I'm trying to calm myself down on my bed, tbh.  The wind was pretty traumatizing.  I got so scared for my safety and pissed off with my work that I yelled out, "Fuck this!" and went home. There are trees down everywhere . I didn't see a single bus, like the council said there was going to be.  My umbrella nearly turned itself inside out a few times, and that was the sturdy one!  I sent a quick text to my SM letting them know it ain't happening.  I'll be stunned if any of my workmates actually show up today, because I sure as hell aren't.  Not until these winds fuck off 😤
