Storm

The storm that did so much damage to the Hunter Valley hardly touched our area. Yes, we got an awful lot of rain, and it was unpleasant to go outside for a few days because it was so wet all the time, but we had no high winds and we certainly didn't get 10 inches of rain in a few days.

The worst that we seemed to have got was that part of this fence fell over. It probably fell over because of poor maintenance rather than the weather - the house is occupied by an old gentleman and he seems to have trouble putting his bins out, so taking care of a rotting fence is probably well beyond him.

The fence just fell straight over the footpath and slightly onto the road, so the SES have come along and put a bit of tape around it, but nothing more.
