Those of us who live in rural areas of the NT (as opposed to the new towns) need to accept the quid pro quo of being last to get back to normal after something like this. I haven't even been out or village gate since the typhoon, although the sterling work of many people yesterday meant it was possible by the evening. This morning we've had 3 chainsaw crews working to get the biggest trees off the roads while the rest of us have been sawing, chopping, sweeping and drain cleaning. The friendly local claw truck man is doing a lot of overtime!
I'm knackered, but it's back to the office for the afternoon.
