A tropical cyclone formation

Sunday morning I awoke at 4.30am. It was raining quite heavily and the curtain to our bedroom sliding door was billowing inwards like a fresh sail. Our windchime tinkling gently outside. Normally, if you woke to such a peaceful setting, you would snuggle down in your sheets and go back into blissful slumber. Not me though. I got up and walked into the kitchen where my partner was looking at the Bureau of Meteorology website with a furrowed brow. Cyclone Olga was on her way and whirling with the force of a category two. Tipped to cross the coast right over us!
Flynn decided then there to race up to our business and start to pack it all up. Pull in all missile-like objects and tape the windows. I did the same at home. We checked and re-checked the cyclone kit. We watched the news. We pulled everything inside and put our warm clothes on. We made coffee. We sat and we waited.
Nothing.
Not a breath.
Barely a raindrop.
Right until her end, Olga looked angry and ready to do her worst. Alas, she died before her clouds could touch the coastline. Now her tears fall, three days after she fizzled out.
What a fizzer indeed!!!! What a load of hype for NOTHING!
Dear Cyclone Olga, your wasted everyone's time. You had so much potential, what happened? Was it peer cloud pressure (low or high?) Or did our forboding coast intimidate your Norwegian heritage? Whatever it was, rest in peace Olga. Don't ever scare us like that again!!
