Nah. Usually lots of cars parked there or people working but this happened early this morning. The powers that be in there "wisdom" are planting these things all around the city. Not real bright.

you can say that again! Couple years ago, massive storm went through, limbs everywhere and huge buggars at that. Mostly redgums

Wow compared to that we got away very lightly. Poor old walnut tree and fire unit copped it a bit though.

Pfffffffft it'll buff out
Sitting on my backside doing large lumps of f…… all. Too bloody hot, 41C (106F) yesterday and the same expected today. Strong northerly winds, let’s hope the fireys have a quiet day.
We always called them Widow Makers.

Where did this happen BigL, Major's Creek Mitchellstown late January 2020. Here's a few more pictures, I know the bloke who owns the ute. It was repaired, hard to believe it didn't warp the chassis
That was a big storm. I was trying to make time to go up there with them that weekend, as usual work got in the way, luckily for once
We're you there BigL, do you know the group.

yes was at Majors, no I dont know that poor fella. The GV HWY was unbelievable that day, HUGE limbs everywhere.. took nearly a week for crews to clean the road up. I've never seen anything like it in Vic before, was like a mini tornado went through, a very narrow path of absolute destruction was cut heading NE from Majors. Made me think twice about where I camp now, even pulling up the boat under trees for a bit of shade when fishing.

Yeah I remember it well I was driving the GV Hwy nearly every day at the time. There's only two other storm events similar to this in Victoria I can remember.
Bullarto 2021 was absolutely smashed, how no one was injured or killed is a miracle. The other was a storm from Shepparton to Tatong in the 90's, massive destruction. A mate of mine was standing on a verandah between Benalla and Tatong watching the storm to the north. Lightning was everywhere, the verandah had a grapevine growing up and along for shade. My mate was standing next to a verandah post with the trunk of the vine growing up, lightning struck the vine and it made a crackling sound. Scared the shite out of my mate
he asked the property owner what was that. The property owner told him it was a lightning strike and that's how sparkling wine is made he was very lucky not to get hit.
That's a bloody long verandah RM

Walking mother natures fresh diggings and I reckon she must be the Gold Gods mother. Better than a dozer as you don't have to put fuel in it

yes it was a nice sunset today.. makes a beer taste all the better too!
Sitting back feeling really lucky.
Had an email from CBA today to say that they were giving me a refund and to check my Netbank messages for details.
Logged into Netbank and opened up the message and found that I was to receive a 3 cent refund in my CBA account due to interest miscalculations.
Wow how lucky can you be!
