Newcastle floods

Our downstairs at home was flooded but not as bad outcome as for many in the area this morn.Cars abondoned in the middle of busy roads,washouts ,erosion destroyed homes, trees down everywhere ,power out.I thought our roof would blow off last night (124 km/h gust at nobbys)The front door of my shop was blown open .(Nothing taken bless em)
Ship is still in one piece which is good ,they will try to remove it .Looks like we are in the eye at the moment looking at the sattelite pic.

Forecasters are predicting that the Newcastle to Sydney region could experience a similar weather system in a weeks time. Not looking good if we cope it again. My downstairs room is flooded and I'm stuck up in Townsville.
Hows the Lake looking Ric?

Actually no wind today.
The point at Marmong was under water.
Also where we launch at the back of Swansea was also under water at the height of the tide.
It also looks like the caravan park at squids would have been an island going by the high tide mark. The water would have been in the carpark and through to the other side.

Can we go and do something at your house on Monday?

Only got power back today about miday, after loosing it on Friday Night
