No it is not a terrible Phil Collins song it was a cyclone that was a monster, it hit last night. The rain was going sideways, wind like you would not believe, and the noise. Anyway lost 2 trees and a bit of mess. Mess now all cleaned up, and one tree gone, other will get sliced and diced tomorrow.
Have never heard of this in all my years and do not want to hear of another?

By the way that you described it, it sounds like Godzilla was splish splashin' in your neck of the woods!! Certainly our friend from the land down under is alright and damage was somewhat minimal. Maybe your cub can find some new work on your clean up? I used my zero turn to play polo with some logs to get them 200 feet about 65 meters back to my burn pile, so maybe something similar for your clean up? I hope that was one and done for your experience. Great to hear that you are alright Ozcubowner!

We do get our fair share of storms but none with such attitude as this one displayed

Do the Oz weather people, "embellish" weather data to sensationalize the actual statistics, as they do here ??

:bigthink: :biggrin2:

Roland . our Bureau of Meteorology are pretty straight about what is happening , they call a spade a spade
My only gripe with them is we are in a minor lock-down due to covid delta and they cannot give us nice sunny days coming into Spring

I fully understand the reverse seasons of the land down under.
---But it still messes with my pea size brain. :biggrin2:

Our "bureau of meterolgy" resembles the "Keystone Kops". :biggrin2:

I rely on my Weather Ap on my Cell (Mobile) Phone. Accurate without the hype and BS.

For the most accurate weather forecast I use a Weather Rock , if its wet its raining and if its dry its not raining , you cannot get anything easier
ol George we love our weather , nice hot summers , cool winters , hang on your summers are hot and winters cool you just have them at the wrong time of year
I would complain to Al Gore and get them moved
