Bloody hell ... just got back from that area on the weekend. Puts the clutch failure the Hino suffered just 6.5 kms from home into perspective, I guess

The twister hit 3 homes pretty hard and a couple of sheds with no serious injuries except hip pocket ones. Many trees were torn out and shared among neighbours.

However most of us fared well and did not have a problem.

Our daily rag reports that the damage was about 200 or so meters wide and travelled a fair distance. All on the eastern edg of town.

It will be a big cleanup for those affected with the SES assisting. Power was out for many overnight and has all now been restored by repots tendered.

Town back to normal for most of us.
