The weather bureau had predicted it and issued a severe weather warning the afternoon before.
It started to blow around midnight and got progressively worse as the day wore on reaching a peak around midday and into the early afternoon.
Gusts from the west/northwest reached 80-100km/hr in some places on the south coast.
We had a few gusts that rattled our windows.
It wasn’t a day to go outside.
Eventually a big gust brought down a dead bushfire affected tree onto our relatively new shed.
Thankfully it was the attached woodshed roof that took most of the force.
The wind eventually subsided late afternoon.
We were surprised there were no blackouts.
Next morning I went on a complete boundary walk.
Lots of timber (branches and small trees) down but none over fences.
You can be lucky!
Then I got to work removing the tree from the shed which proved fairly easy.
A good amount of firewood there.
Just needs to be cut up.
The debris will go to a burn pile.
Just another day of living rural.
