Storms on the East Coast

There has been some wild weather over there on the east coast lately.
I hope all our east coast members and their families are safe & well.

All OK in my neck of the woods. :biggrin:

High winds here (lots of trees down) but not much rain. The hail bypassed us.
I think the storms built in intensity as they passed us heading for the coast.

All good where we are, but I did hear the Gold Coast copped a beating

Heavy storms 8 and 9 days ago, another 2 storms on Thursday arvo (both with hail). Another early storm this morning (got caught in that walking home from work). And we now have a neurotic dog that keeps trying to escape every time a storm hits.

Seems like you might be the one that has come worst off.
Hopefully you have seen the end of the storms.

:scared: Hope so, had the repair guys here this morning making yet another attempt to fix a leak in the loungeroom that happens every heavy downpour, also same problem next house and a few others. 14 months old, built by Chinese labourers, probably lots of Chinese materials and most of the investors who own the area are Chinese, what could go wrong? :scared:Probably will need to demolish whole suburb within 25 years, still better than a site I worked last year where every (Chinese) kitchen and (Chinese) bathroom will need replacing within 3 years or a site I worked 6 months ago where every other place leaked and they are having to replace flooring, tiles, kitchens etc already. Those residents only go what they paid for, what did they expect for a lousy 1.2 million?

We are okay up here (Hills area in Sydney) .. I got caught when I was coming back from Cricket last weekend.. Saw the devastation left behind. Lots of uprooted trees and damaged homes etc.. hopefully no more..

Is it just my imagination, or does Sydney seem to be getting more of these "Super Cell' storms these days?

Probably your imagination. I can recall that storm in '72 that blew down our brick fence or a storm in'84 that dropped 18" or a storm in '89 that took the roof off our rental. Always have been bad storms and with global cooling starting they might get worse (latest research shows we are entering a Maunder Minimum AKA mini ice age).
