The East coast of OZ seems to be getting a hammering.

Hope everone is ok.
cheers

cissie:
okay.. the storms are really bad.. 4 hours or 3 hours south of me.. we are on the mid north coast.. the storms are on the central coast of New South Wales.  My supervisor lives down there, and i got a text message from him this morning asking for yesterdays figures as he still didn't have any power to log into pc.  The old pacific highway has got a section washed away, 6 lives been lost which is devastating.  Sydney has had some severe winds and plenty of rain however they have been spared the disaster.  The catchment areas are filling which is good for the water supply, as they are in severe drought. 

Budgewoi is one of the worst hit areas.. they have rivers in their streets.. its terrible.. but we are in sunshine and cool nights.. nothing here for a change, as Coffs Harbour usually gets hit with floods, but usually around Christmas time.  Just a run down for you letting you know all is aok here.

texasboy:
Glad to hear you are ok. Is NightWatchman anywhere near all this??
cheers

cissie:
No...  he is on the West side of the Country... 2 days drive from the problems.  If you look at a pic of oz.. you will see there is almost a direct line from me to him..  it was a very isolated storm... i have a friend down there.. got some pics.. one car park, there was water up to the windows...

The storm was north of sydney by about 1 hour drive, and 4 hours drive south for me.. then it went inland as well..

TheNightWatchman:
Yeah I live on the West Coast so I'm literally thousands of kms away! So it's nice and sunny here.. heh.

I hear Sydney is getting the worst of it and it could be around for another few days still?
