Day 149 (21.03.10)

Well it did end up getting a bit scary here and we evacuated into Jar's room as our windows were shaking and our skylight was flapping and banging!  Power went off fairly early - Al and I saw the green flash as it blew the power and from then on it really started to blow!  It peaked about 1am and the wind was howling around our house with plenty of banging going on outside.  We sat it out, grabbed a couple of hours sleep when it settled down and got up first thing to survey the damage.

A few posts back I was wondering how windy it has to get to knock the coconuts down and now I know - except it took the whole tree!!
Sheared off at the base....
A bit of damage at our local store...
Power pole on a bit of a lean...
Heaps of sand washed up onto the road and we were just getting to the good stuff when a wasp flew in the car window and stung Ned so we had to go home!!!
I spammed these out of an email going around but it shows the damage done to the breakwater.
