Cyclone Ingrid Experiences

After a sleepless night, spent mostly on a mattress in the hallway (a common experience I am told)
The sight that greeted me when I opened my front door made my heart sink.
The tree as pictured over the front of all the cars, bought visions of many trips to the panel beaters.
However to my great surprise, when I backed the cars from under the tree, not so much as a scratch !
I consider that we were very fortunate, given that some others around town were not so lucky.
I think anyone who was a bit complacent about cyclone's in Nhulunbuy & the belief that "we don't get big ones here", will have to think again !
