It was pretty frightening last night. We have a eucalyptus tree in the back garden. I would love to get shot of it. They have notoriously shallow roots. Last night it took a real battering. The bedroom window is plastered with shattered bits of eucalyptus leaves this morning. The rattling sound of tiles being lifted and dropped kept waking me up. Fortunately none broke.
I have seen worse winds, but only on a couple of occasions. In 1987 the “hurricane” did a lot more damage and in 1978 we had a monster storm. The local harbour dates from the late 1700’s and is constructed from large blocks of granite. After the 1978 storm some of these blocks were washed away by the force of sea. That I found quite astonishing. It also smashed a Victorian pier around the coast.
Yes indeed. It was wild and woolly ok. At times it sounded like a flight of 4 engine prop plane. Not used to that.
btw ... we have one very large tree down, will post pix. Part of it is in neighbor’s back garden. Too bad their dog couldn’t have been under it.
Cheer up - I read that a ‘freak’ snow in Vietnam killed all the crops.
GlowBallWarning - my butt - here it was 50 degrees two days ago - it is 16 degrees right now. It was raining (3 inches plus) and now there is snow on the ground.
It is simply a cycle - and for a bunch of idiots who believe that the world is billions of years old - are they that damn stupid to believe that 200 years of man making things - is going to destroy it?
I’ve got a suggestion - kill yourselves. You won’t have to live through the destruction (or GlowBallWarning) and we sane people can get back to the work of raising the living conditions and life expectancy for the entire World - once again.
