Vaianu Cyclone Updates

JDC Rescue Update 12.04.26, 8:16 AM: So far, so good. Vaianu is looming around more than predicted: no landfall yet (was supposed to happen at 4 am).

All the dogs are fed, have been outside, and are now back in their dry, insulated blocks, just in case things get rough later. Paired up the Fantastic 8 (six still on site) so everyone has a roommate for comfort if the weather turns nasty. The little ones are inside. The kennel area is sturdier than the cottage, so humans might borrow one for the night, lol.

The ground is saturated with leftover surface water from the last rain, keeping an eye on the water level for a possible emergency plan B. Overall, we’re all good and intend to keep it that way through the cyclone

Keep safe, everyone and take care of your pups!!

Update 9:30 am: Two large trees are down from just one gale, and it’s barely begun. Run 2 and the kennel blocks are safely away from the trees. Run 1 is locked until this passes.

Update 1.30 PM : power outage. No power, therefore no water apart from the water reserves prepared beforehand. Starlink down obviously.

Worst yet to come after 2.30 PM

Update: 6.48 PM: power back, the babes had their evening run and snuggled to sleep now, with full bellies It wasn’t as bad as we expected, and they’ve been amazing, sleeping though it all!
