curiouswombatWell, we've survived the weather OK. About 5 a.m. this morning the wind speeds were measured at 108 mph near my Mother's, and 110 on the mountain road between here and there. It must have been pretty bad, as there are loads of trees down, and when I woke about 5 a.m. it did sound very fierce.
Our neighbour across the road lost enough slates from his roof to leave a sizeable hole, then one of the flying slates went through the screen of another neighbour's car. My friend from church who lives about half a mile down the hill to the leeward from us,(and so in theory much more sheltered) had both her front and back main windows blown in (front), and out (rear), as the wind went through her flat instead of around it.
I wonder if it will be the worst storm this winter? Possible, but not all that likely!
