Hi all,
Just want to wish the best for all the people affected by the current storms.
I live in Newcastle and we suffered mild flooding and a tree fallen through our back fence.
No-one hurt and no major damage here.

But unfortunately some haven't been so lucky.

NSW storm declared a 'catastrophe' with damage bill of $129 million - 9news.com.au

Half way down the page is a video of a house getting washed away by the floods!
Hopefully the worst is over.

Cheers,
Mac.

It's pretty bad. The inlaws live in Newcastle - Elermore Vale - the big tree next door came crashing down in the road - SES had to remove it. Luckily no one was hurt.

Stay safe!

It's a small world sometimes, we live in Elermore Vale!

Weather seems to have settled down now.
Unfortunately 5 people died in the flood, 3 in houses and 2 in cars.
Our thoughts and well wishes for them and their families.

Mac.

Sure is a small world! We're visiting them at the end of the year - I've never been to Newcastle so I'm looking forward to it. Following that we're going up to visit Humperdinkel for a couple of days. Can't wait until the end of the year.

Stay safe - the pictures I've been seeing from Bondi, Maitland etc are just unbelievable. I've heard 8 dead now. Terrible
