On Friday morning we awoke to a weather bureau severe weather warning of strong winds for our area.
The storm had caused havoc in Victoria overnight with multiple power outages and damage across the whole state.
We were to be on the edge of the system as it moved east.
Nothing much happened until around 9am when gusts from the north west signalled the approach.
By 10am we were in the midst of a howling gale.
A particularly savage gust snapped off one of our liquid amber trees about 3m from the base and it fell, bringing down branches of other trees nearby.
There was a huge bang!
Luckily there was no property damage and it fell short of our power lines.
The wind didn’t let up until late afternoon.
Our power went out twice during the day for a few hours each time which is always inconvenient.
Today dawned still and sunny.
Our local tree man came to have a look and will be able to mulch most of the branches and will cut up the thicker pieces into manageable bits which we can burn off, when dried out, at a later date.
