Things are getting very wild and woolly down there in VIC I hope Mike (airspeed) is OK. Ballarat is seriously threatened.

Strange that we didn't see HT powerlines collapsing like this until privatisation :rant:

Thanks for your thoughts, Mike ;)
We had some scary wind gusts, and the power was off for most of the day.
There was a fire just round the corner, 5 trucks attended and it was put under control.
In the scheme of things, we have been fortunate.
