What a terrible storm. It is similar to the one that wrecked Lismore, but we didn't have so much torrential rain, mainly golf ball to tennis ball sized jagged hail. We were lucky and it was declared a disaster area. Our printing business had holes punched through the roof and many thousands of dollars of stock ruined. The Government was helping out and most insurance companies were excellent. Be aware of shonky operators trying to fix roofs. We had to have our work done four times before it was satisfactory. Wrecked cars were more problematic. Some poor young people had their cars seized by insurance assessors with thousands of dollars of stereo gear inside, and no chance to retrieve anything. It was a case of "give us the keys, find your own way home". Good luck everyone, I know what you're going through.
