After The Storm

Three of us did the Shelley Loop this morning with a quick and steady pace. Rob threw a chain near the end when some debris landed between it and the cluster. I was alongside and saw it all happen. However he had it fixed and was back up to speed in no time. What a smooth operator. Onya mate.

The amount of debris left by Monday's storm was huge. Sand, leaves and twigs on every corner. Huge River gums and other longstanding trees uprooted along the Esplanade in Shelley. It was sad to see so many trees destroyed, but I am sure they will be replaced.

A lot of cars have been "golfballed" in the hailstorm. Plenty of property damage but not one person badly injured or killed, which was an absolute blessing.

My garage flooded and all my storage boxes and contents were destroyed. My station wagon looks very much like a silver golfball on wheels and all the revision mirrors were smashed. Definitely an insurance job or worse a total writeoff.
