Blowing quite a gale here....

[kengillard]

sorry to hear that.....have you tried indigestion medication?

[bigmooseknuckles]

OP, you have'nt blown out the window have you?

[bright.ton42]

Assuming the OP is serious and the other posts are - well corny attempts to get 

a laugh -  it was so windy on St Kilda Road this afternoon waiting for a tram

we all had to literally hang onto the railings not to be blown over.  I've never experienced

a gale like that in the city, it was frightening.

yes bright it's been so windy I was worried my roof would come off again....then the thunder shook the house scaring poor master 3. Seems to have  calmed down now.

oh dear:(.....not a rose expert myself but can you cut the trunk on an angle in hope that it may shoot?

The rose should be alright, if the cut isnt a clean cut maybe trim it till it is, then stake the rose and give it time to get over the shock.

It may take awhile before it shoots, but it should be okay.

I have a garden full of roses and know a fair bit about them.

Be sure to stake it.

Thanks ladies but it might be easier just to pull it out and get another one..Seems I got off lightly, those living up north weren`t so lucky..a tornedo..I`ve just seen some tv footage:-(

I hope everyone is OK.It's been pretty bad here but not as bad as some places 

Houses 'blown apart' in Vic tornado 22 MAR 2013, 4:24 PM

A tornado has swept through Victoria's northeast, injuring 20 people and sending caravans, roofs and verandahs flying.

Caravans, roofs and trees were sent flying as a tornado powered across Victoria's northeast, leaving towns in wreckage.

Moira Shire Mayor Brian Keenan said several houses at Bundalong, home to about 300 people, were destroyed and many others damaged.

"It is absolutely incredible. You would think an atom bomb went off," Mr Keenan told AAP on Friday.

He said massive trees had been ripped out of the ground and several hundred metres of power lines had fallen.

"How there wasn't lives lost is beyond me," he said.

Fierce storms hit the Murray River towns of Bundalong, Yarrawonga, Mulwala, Rutherglen, Koonoomoo and Cobram about 8pm (AEDT) on Thursday.
