SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
for Widespread Damaging Winds with Locally Destructive Gusts
For people in the Lower West, Southwest and adjacent parts of the Central West,
Central Wheat Belt, Great Southern and Southern Coastal Districts including the
Perth metropolitan area, Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton and Albany.
Issued at 9:00 am WST on Monday 5 September 2005
A strong cold front is approaching the state from the west and is expected to
cause severe winds that could result in widespread damage to property. In
localised areas wind gusts may be severe enough to cause significant damage or
destruction of property. Severe winds are forecast to develop in the Southwest
district during the afternoon and extend to other parts this evening.

If some kind soul could reassure me from time to time that WA hasn't blown away, I'd be grateful. I'll stop worrying once I know the plane has landed safely! 
"Worryguts" is my middle name, btw...
