Just sent that first map to my boss in Melbourne to explain our situation up here.

My house got huge storm last night. Trees down everywhere. Spent whole day carting them from yard. No power, maybe days. One branch went thru cladding and plaster into lounge room. Another around 40 kg branch, i cant lift it, flew 50 metres into my yard. Mustve been over 300 k winds, 60 mm hail. Not having much fun lately.

Stay safe mate

Stay safe guys

Seen some pictures from the other side and you certainly getting some shit weather, I hope you are all staying safe and it clears up soon.
It seems mad that Australia is having serious flooding, Europe could be on the brink of war with Russia, Russia has invaded Ukraine and is killing civilians and destroying building and yet there are still some whinging that the fucking football is cancelled.  It's a crazy world we all live in.

@grog
That sounds horrendous. Hopefully you can get it all sorted out and hopefully no major structural damage done to your house. Scary stuff indeed.

Stay safe

Thanks Fellas. So today got up on roof, solar panels ok, gutters full of tree debris, gone now. Problem found, bloody whirlybird air extractor blown off, that rooms ceiling flooded. Insurance claim now. So my warning is, if you have one, they just push down onto base, they need safety straps. Just little metal bars screwed to top n bottom, at least 2, 4 for me now. Mongrels who fitted mine just put one, wouldve been ok with more.

Well done Mr. Grog.   I installed mine DIY and fitted 2 straps, plus I riveted the collar at 4 points. We get a SEasterly (The Freo Doctor) that can be quite strong.

Wish youd shown bastards who fitted mine Eric. Inferior job, and that was insurance, new roof 4 yrs ago. Why do i live here? No idea at present.

[grog]

Cant knock insurance so far. Made claim yesterday arvo, bloke here before lunch, dragged n mulched the fallen trees. Also got a quote for another i need removed, $600 under others. Good with Bad.
