Fark, that was close...
So, we had a mini wind event here on Thursday night.
A 115kmh systained burst ripped up "Melanie Valley" (our little valley here where our property is located, named after my missus!) For about 4 mins straight. It was quite the event, very loud, trees swaying heavy, then "CRASH"... "THUMP" outside. I thought it was thunder, but didn't see the flash. Mel says "that was a tree". Didn't sound like the last tree that fell, but she was right! (Sorry how absolutely filthy she is, especially you Mark! I don't tend to wash her in winter - dirt road etc...) Amazingly the S8 came through with a couple of superficial scratches. As for the wind, its caused havoc in the hills! One street, which I used to overlook from my old house, has had several houses badly damaged with a half dozen large gum trees falling. Several streets are still without power even today.
