Yay! We have power again. We had a very strong storm on Friday morning.... the strongest since we have been here... 15 years. At about midday a tree was blown over in the next street and it brought down the power lines. We have been without power for 30 hours and it feels like a lifetime! No internet!
Then.... about an hour after the power went off yesterday, there was a tremendous BANG!..... a large tree in next door's yard had fallen over and landed in our yard.... just missing the side room and demolishing the "aviary".... damaging the roof over the spa.... and ruining the roof over the tractor. It looks like a big mess but the damage isn't too serious. We lodged an insurance claim immediately and they had a team out to clean up within a very short time.
After a night using torches for lights.... and a camp stove for coffee .... we're very glad to have power again.
These are the clean up team hard at work .... I wasn't allowed to help .... "We're insured!" was the catch-cry.
The vehicle with the 'chipper' got stuck on the steep slope and had to be towed out.
