I had a friend tell me today that Lake Mcdonald (N-E of Cooroy) where he lives, was hit hard. 600mm diameter trees snapped off. Power poles pulled out or snapped off. Trees down everywhere. Trees smashed through homes. He spent most of yesterday with a chain saw helping people clean up.
When he left for work this morning they were STILL without power. However, they did get a phone call from Energex asking how they were, and if there was anythig they could do. He said the Energex workers have been working 24 hours a day since the storm. Saturday and Sunday nights he could see their flood lights and hear their generators going.
