Had some pretty wild storms here past couple of days (apparently winds reching 140-150km/h, a more reliable source said 130km/h lasting all night)
What's good is that it brought much needed rain (drought's broken and less bush fire hazards)
The bad news is that there's a shed load of trees lying everywhere, people got there houses smashed by falling trees, roofs ripped off, our power was cut off for 2 days, a bit of flooding, banana farms flattened and a fair cost to the community.
(but the droughts broken and school was cancelled)
Anyway, here are a few pictures:
1. The very beginning of the storm....
2. About 40m down the road from my house (road was blocked for 16 hours both ways)
3. One of hundreds of uprooted trees.
4. Some of the damage.
5. The storm did the agricultural industry a bit of harm too (but it still broke the drought)
