Tropical Depression Alert!

A moderate tropical depression named 'Nisha', is supposedly heading our way, and is expected to hit on Sunday. It's caused general panic in Tahiti, in particular the meteorology office has been on red alert! The possibility of a weekend in the midst of a cyclone has been enough to scare our guests off, so after getting all geared up for a full-house, we're suddenly off duty again! I suppose we should set to securing the rigging, buying in water and tinned foods - that's the official advice we're getting. The storm is currently about 1000km away, in the Cook Islands, with winds of over 120km/h, it's predicted that it'll pass somewhere between the northern Australs (that's us) and the Society Islands. But it's actually losing strength (it's almost the Ex-Tropical Depression, previously know as Nisha), and while it will cause some stormy seas, it'll probably bring little more than wet weather, fingers-crossed!
