Re: Storm
You're obviously not in Australia if you think it is going to be a 'stormless' or 'storm free country'. There's no shortage of bad weather all over Australia at certain time of the year, some of the wind storms come with fire attached!

Re: Storm
And most of the storms here bring down powerlines, some cyclones can cause blackouts lasting days.

Re: Storm
If you could see the amount of damage to the electricity network you may have a different opinon, the storm didn't really stop on a particular area but affected the whole of the North Island.

Not yet I'm not but I soon will be. At least the houses are built better to withstand storms there, but rest assured I shall try to live somewhere that doesn't have too much of a problem with either fire or storms. It's a big enough continent so I'm sure I'll be able to find somewhere

You read news reports about a country you have a very obvious dislike for???
You might find the Australian newspapers more to your liking, and they would certainly be more relevant to you.
