Yep, we sure copped it.
Man, it was wild!
My scope was on the verandah and was knocked over by the wind, hail, falling branch etc etc. The focuser is caput.
I thought we were going to lose our roof, it kept banging away. Must check that. More storms coming today.
Buckets of marble sized hail. Looked like snow. The wind was incredible.
Vegie garden and anything else leafy shredded and at least 8 trees uprooted or snapped off. ( caught one on video, the one that got the front verandah )
My poor horse copped it out there. The tree he was sheltering under broke, he was a shaking bundle of nerves after. He'll be feeling tender and bruised today I bet.
I used up all the battery in the camera taking video of the storm. Haven't been able to recharge till this morning, one hour before transit, because we had no power.
Hubby won't claim the scope under insurance unless there is more damage to the property because of the stupid $300 excess.
