Thank you all for your concern :-)

Yesterday never really brightened up and we needed the lights on for most of the time. We managed to secure most objects outside by putting them into the garage. This included our three waste bins.

The rain started about two o'clock, not really heavy at first. By then Perth had already copped a lashing, as had Geraldton further North.

By eight o'clock the wind here had picked up and hasn't ceased since :-(

The gusts have been horrendous and I'm not even going to try and guess the speed of them.

It's still too dark outside to see if any more damage has occurred since the last storm.

To have two in such close proximity in time is extremely unusual.

This particular weather event has had, or will have, an impact on over a thousand kilometres of coast line.

This has also occurred just as some of the internal travel restrictions put in place due to COVID have been lifted and many people have hit the road for some holiday time :-(

Thanks, Liz. :-)

We are still cleaning up after the last storm and waiting for some repairs, but hopefully the house has been made waterproof by some emergency work to the roof.

Hopefully we won't have to find out how good the repairs to the roof have been.

As if the storm two weeks ago wasn't bad enough, we are expecting further severe storms again this weekend :-(

Last time a storm of this nature hit (2012) we lost our other fence and the garage door.

This front is expected to hit Sunday and last until Wednesday
