The bus stops were so full down there at 7 am that people couldn't fit under the shelters, one advantage of working from home

windy. the whole summer was very windy. not as hot as usual but very windy so that the soil was bone dry. you water and after an hour it's all dry again even with pea straw on.

we don't have any wind here right now but I feel for you all in Sydney. Those strong winds can do some serious damage

I'm in Brissie, but my brother's on the NSW Central coast - he's lost his garden shed & back fence and tells me all roads are flooded and the rail line from Newcastle to Sydney is closed. He's been up since 3am - said the wind is the scariest he has ever experienced.

Good luck to everyone effected - stay safe and keep off the roads if possible

By the way the climate has always changed and always will, it is a habit of millions of years 🙂

I've just been looking at the photos. What an absolute mess.

Yes, major mess.

It wasn't/ isn't a wind 'you would be used to'. How often do workers in Syd get sent home at 2.30pm because of adverse weather? Not usual.

There is a scary pic of a two storey house that got split in two and mangled when a big tree fell on it at 3am. Amazingly the couple inside (were asleep at the time) got out without any serious injuries. That was near Newcastle. They had just finished renovating the house too.
