NSW is just recovering from a category 2 cyclone. Unbelievable! I've never seen anything like it after 44 years in this country. NSW is a temperate zone and cyclones are very rare in them, being much more common in tropical zones.
We were without power and phone (even mobile) for 2.5 days and, of course, didn't know what was going on in the rest of the world. John was saying we should buy a transistor radio. The only news we could hear was to start the car and listen to the radio. Just goes to show how dependent we have become on technology.
We were lucky because we are fairly high up in the local topography but some areas of NSW were flooded. One elderly lady drowned when her car was swept away and all for the sake of running out of milk.
There are trees down everywhere. The Premier declared a natural disaster.
