That looks a bit too close for comfort.
On the bright side you can be very sure no one is ever going to build anything out there.

Looks like our rains moved on after I sold my mount and can no longer do anything. You're welcome!

Sheesh Dave, hope all holds up. This is just the experience that will make you doubly paranoid about securing everything when you build I guess, which is a good thing

Hmm?..I hope my dome is held down well enough

Just looked at Newcastle weather radar and it certainly looks cyclonic - with an eye wall forming over Nelson Bay with a solid yellow-orange eye curling around clockwise in that spot. Crazy.
