    Wow Red Thorn that was some storm! I'm hoping we don't have anything like that in store for us.

    Am I being cynical when they say 'Experts say an event like this is a once in a decade thing' and I think, then why do I have to pay more insurance after making a claim if the experts know that it's not going to cost the insurance company for another 9 years.............

    I didn't see that anyone was hurt on that clip, hope it was so.

      To my knowledge, nobody seriously hurt. Nature is incredible. Street signs steel poles bent flat and signs flat on ground. Not looking forward to drive into office, it's 70km away...

                      Does look a bit scarey. My OH has brothers and sisters in Scarborough. I'll have to get the map out and see how close they are.

                          G4, I'm too heavy to get blown away

                          85% of Mandurah still without electrics, what is nice is to see everyone just pitches in and gets things done like them chaps with chainsaws. We went for a walk about and cleared loads of debris off the roads

                            That makes our little "gale" seem like a gentle breeze! Glad you're all OK, RT.
                            Hope the storm has passed and the power is back on soon.

                              LOL about the person with the chainsaw! When our ute was our only vehicle we went to visit friends in sydney and as I pulled out the bags friend remarked...........isn't that something to do with electric fencing.........well yes! And there's bolt cutters and pliers and.............
