The wind here on this side is crazy crazy at the moment.
200km+ gusts at least last night (in my estimate), today settled down a little, but still at least 100km+
Madness! I heard some houses had roofs blown off… Hopefully the weather stays that side.
Two years ago I was sitting in my lounge, looking out, and saw this insane storm coming from CPT’s side. One could literally see it getting darker and darker and visibly see the storm approaching in how the trees were being blown about.
I rushed to close all my doors and windows just in time. To this day, I am still amazed that a palm tree (which has been removed since) close to my house didn’t blow over and fall on the house. It was bending at least 30 degrees.
