Some bad wind in Perth

Wozzie dogs blown off leashes

"Heavy rain and winds of up to 140km/h whipped WA's southwest coast yesterday, causing unprecedented damage to the electricity network, uprooting trees and ripping a circus tent in Busselton from the ground, Perth Now reported.

The most severely affected area spanned from the south metropolitan area to Margaret River, with the strongest wind gusts - consistent with a category two cyclone - recorded at Cape Naturaliste.

MORE wild weather is forecast for the southern half of Western Australia as efforts continue to restore power to hospitals and more than 110,000 homes."

Any damage in your neck of the woods, A?

Meanwhile, it's absolutely pissing it down in Sydney. I was woken up last night by the rain pounding the roof of my building.

Is it my imagination, or does there seem to be more rain in general worldwide these days?

Right up the North Coast of Dubber, actually. Just back from Port Macquarie, where it was hosing down.

It's your imagination. There can't be MORE rain, just ask Tim Flannery. Our dams would never be full again, according to that farkwit.

Yet another reason to preserve test cricket- It never fails to bring the rains.

It's close to me , S

but no damage yet

still have power so have to keep working ...id probably have to file if the power went out

Good news re: no damage. Not so good about having to keep working.

MB had a curry last night?

I too thought this thread would be about embee blowing off after a few celebratory beers following Fremantle's win over Ninthmond.
