Hi All,
Just been advised that we are in the eye of a storm, this Thursday morning, and the winds and rain etc that we experienced last night could be nothing compared to what's coming. So batten down the hatches! Stake anything likely to fall over that hasn't already.

| Sheesh, we saw some footage tonight, unbelievable. Hope everyone down there is safe but it looks like widespread damage. Then the hail in Sydney, the storms here, snow in the ranges, the dust storms north of us, WA's heat wave.... what a country :-( |
