    Ha, I already been out and helped a mate nail down a loose piece of roofing iron.

    I hate rooves in the dry, today was just damn freaky, the wind is just coming straight off the ocean into the front of our house!

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I think on the whole I prefer these winter storms, the summer ones from the Pacific can be far more destructive for us.

    True that.
    The wind has died down and the birds started chirping for a while, power was off for 3 hours, but all good now.
    We have had worse.

    I'll be around for tea in 15.

    Still got pretty strong winds over here but the house isnt shaking like earlier this arvo.....only birds I saw today were flying backwards. Still not as bad as the big storm last year I dont think.

    Now that storm was serious shit, we lost a fence a few trees and many house around us lost roofs....this time our letterbox is on its side but thats about it!

    If your comin' around bring some gin and tonics we are getting low... a coupla gallons of white rum will also be needed
