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 :( .

Almost Apocalyptic.
Hope your garden got through relatively unscathed

Bit of a mess but I can always replant it later. I will be without power until Thursday apparently, lucky I grabbed the genny from work for the beer fridge :D

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

Not a thing, after the event someone from the weather mob said they issued a severe wind warning....but I couldn't find it and was on-line at home watching Bianca :dontknow: for most of the arvo

just remember if the weather mob give a warning you should be covered by insurance
if they dont you may not be
that last pic is worth framing and hanging on the wall what a great shot
