Having a snooze on Sat arvo and woke up to this, we had no predictions it was coming and it wasn't part of cyclone bianca that was supposed to hit Perth, there is a fair amount of destruction around town, hoses flattened, houses with no roofs and unfortunately one of my clients lost his mother over near York in a car accident during the mess :( .

Hope your garden got through relatively unscathed

With a dust cloud of that magnitude, you would think there would be some kind of advanced warning
