Storm Damage - 15th December 2010 - SE Qld Australia.
These seven photos are of some of the damage to our place (trees and fencing) done when the storm went thru Wednesday afternoon 15.12.2010.
I took these photos on just 7 of our 10 acres - the path of destruction was even worse at our old house on the other 3 acres. There were large trees and branches down everywhere including a couple of big trees across the driveway to the house as well as across the power line to the house.
Hubby had come home just before the storm 'hit' at my request for another sad reason. Our son, who was still at work, now lives in the old house so hubby got the chainsaw out and started clearing the driveway. With the power cable removed (by energex) and after the electrician had repaired the fittings for the cable on the house (they were ripped off), hubby then went to work chainsawing and removing ANY trees blown down or near where the new cable has to go. We are still waiting for the power to be connected to the old house. There is still a lot to be done but Hubby had to go back to work today - at least he is having a break from all the cleaning up and fence repairing. Then next weekend (yes I know, Christmas weekend) he is rostered on duty at the Volunteer Marine Rescue, hopefully they will not have a busy weekend and he will be able to relax for a couple of days.
I thoroughly checked down the back for injured wildlife but could not find any. The baby kookaburras are gone ...
