We have glass in our front yard from a neighbors solar hart roof heater that took flight and crashed into another neighbors house. That was a close one.

All is good here though.

Hi Liz, Warren & Arc,

Glad to hear ya's are practically unscathed. Cat 3 starts to get really messy. I was a little worried about you guys an' gal when I heard it went cat 3.

We were all out dining with friends till late. Hard to fathom that you lot were going through that trauma at the same time we enjoyed a night out.

Our turn will come again I suppose.

Above all its good to hear you being OK.

Cheers Marty

Hi,

Still no power here, we are using a small Generator at the moment. Biggest tree in the yard just missed the house, I've been cleaning up for two days that's what you get for living in a green suburb hey. We just got touched by the destructive wind zone and that was frightening, I would not like to go through a cat 5. Glad to here everyone is alright...

Look at the fence behind the boat. There is nothing wrong with it...what does that suggest?

Looks like it cost to much to take to the local tip so they dumped her on the side of the road.
Cheers Kev.
