Re: Brisbane Storm
It's pretty calm in these here parts but I've tidied the yards just in case, we had a few big branches down in the last storm and with all these drought-weakened trees it doesn't pay to be complacent.
Do love a bit of weather though, can't beat nature

We thought about waiting until the wind got worse before moving anything around but we figured we didn't really want to be out there in a storm if we left it too late. It took about 3 minutes to move the furniture so it wasn't a big deal. Got my husband to clean up the yard too!

Re: Brisbane Storm
I love a good storm too. I'd just prefer to enjoy it without my outdoor furniture flying into the house!
