Road was of course closed for about 4 Hrs and we had no Electricity for 7 hrs .
Bad Winds and Storms of late!
Cheers

No one hurt thank goodness!

The grass looks like it wants reticulating Vernon, so that’s why you may need the rain ? The strong winds are just to blow the cobwebs away. Cheers JS

Strange thing JS is that we have had lots of the Wet stuff too of late! Yet the Grass is still looking so dry! Its the Rain that also helps the large Trees come down, and it makes the Grounds very soggy and soft! There threes around here have very shallow Roots!
When we bought our House here there were two Monsters in the Front, one over the Main Bedroom Roof, so i soon got Permission from the Local Council, to have them both removed!
Thank goodness i did, otherwise i am sure one of them would bt now have flattened the Bedroom@

As long as it was only the lodger in at the time no worries. Cheers JS.

Vernon.
When we built our house up the Mountains there was a huge Ghost gum between us and the next house, on their side, I thought it was one that would be there for years, but about five years after we moved in down it came in a storm , thankfully straight onto the road taking the power lines with it, what annoyed us was the insurance people wouldn't pay for the food in the freezer, but one thing that they where prepared to pay for was a new alarm system, the bloke who put it in said this will teach them, and put the top model in, we had only a basic before.

Australian trees often are shallow rooted and easy to blow over.
WE had two Victorian Blue Gums on our land when we built this house.
As they were on the fence line council would not allow their removal.
Over the years had to prune them but they still grew.
Sucked the ground dry so no lawn would grow and difficult to get plants grow.
Then one day my next door neighbor told me he thought they has 'Termites'.
On the Saturday a guy came to do some test, he asked if he could check my two trees.
Drilled a 25 cm hole about 30cm deep but found no evidence of Termites, there were none in the house next door after all.
Then I thought, what do I fill the hole sin the trees with?
Got it, Glyphosate weed killer.
Three months later had to call an arborist who told me the trees were dead.
The wood kept our log burner going for two years.
