Haha Liz that is funny. I am actually worried about my garage I think the doors might of blown in and/or really damaged.
It got quite bad here some roofs were lifting, and Transfield have put signs out saying as soon as something happens ring them to get it fixed.

Part of our fence has blown, it was an iron fence and it has completely come off the wooden rails - but they are now all wonky. The neighbour whose fence it is (with ours) has another part of their fence blown in too, and their house is on the market for sale!

Its a state of emergency here now. Houses in my road have been evacuated and the kindy at the end of the street oppiste me (about 15 houses away) is sandbagged and houses around it are evacuated. It is scary. Hubby bought home batteries and I got the candles and matches down, and am crossing my fingers it all calms down very very soon. The wind is scary and the rain is relentless. The river through town has spilt its banks and is on the road.

its bad here, I willpost some photos later on. WE have been lucky so far, only our yard flooded, but if it kicks in again today we wilol not be so lucky I dom't think. The houses over the road are flooded and under water and the street opposite my driveway is at least knee deep the whole way doen, I took some pics, the cars still unlucky enought to be on the road have water over their bumpers, over door level, it is quite high and bloody scary. Still got power, though, but have to be careful with water as raw sewage etc
