Re: Brisbane Storm
Now come on, what DID you do with that kite........
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...5-1248,00.html
About 3500 homes were still without power in Brisbane's Albany Creek, Bridgeman Downs, and Ashgrove areas.
Some 320 homes were still without power in the Gold Coast hinterland, 250 in Bulimba and 100 in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
...........................
But the spokesman said around 90 per cent of the outages were caused by debris such as trees being blown on to powerlines.
"We're talking some trees the size of a man's torso," he said.
"We've also had a kite and lawn furniture (cut power)."

Re: Brisbane Storm
Its expected to last at least most of the week too., as the low pressure is very slow moving.
Where DID you leave your kite?

Re: Brisbane Storm
We're ten minutes from there too, but the wind is howling round here like a good 'un. Depends how sheltered you are I guess - from memory your place is probably more sheltered than this. Our old place was right on top of the hill looking towards the sea - that would've been shaking like nothing on earth by now.

The kite? Be nice to have some wind! He was a tad disappointed so I blamed it all on you.
