Not too bad, thanks

The storm didn't too much damage to us - shredded the waterproof shadecloth on small front pergola and knocked over one of the bottlebrush trees at the back corner of the house. What was unsettling was that the shadecloth shredded in just seconds and the tree tipped over instantly. Although this wasn't damage, the sight of the entire Colourbond steel roof of the main pergola heaving up and and down like the breathing of some gigantic beast was disturbing.

Still, power is still on and the wind is decreasing (from it's peak of around 100kph to about 50-60 kph) so it could have been much worse.
