Tristan.... mate, don't I know it
What a day.
My place in Braddon got hit pretty hard. I ended up with two very broken skylights and two bathrooms with water where it isn't supposed to be. The gutters outside also filled up and blocked the downpipe with hail, shortly followed by the water freezing in the pipe. This caused the gutters to overflow inside the wall cavity flooding my lounge room on the first floor. wet, soppy, more wet.
The loungeroom looked like a discount* liquidation persian towel sale.
*some storm damaged stock
A lightning strike shortly before the storm took out the external power to the apartment complex, which in turn meant the basement stormwater bilge pumps in the parking garage didn't work. I found my car sitting in 8 inches of water, lapping at the bottom of the doors.
As you've seen, work didn't fare much better. Two of the fleet cars are probably a write off, its as if someone parked them in the middle of golf driving range
A couple of buildings have serious water damage. Some of the trees I spotted had not only all the leaves gone, but the bark shredded too!
Systems restored today, drying out / assessing desktops tomorrow. Yay!
Worse could happen... my wine, books and gear is dry
Above all, Don't Panic. I know where my towel is!
