I know the beer (or 6) in hand and the madness of storm-watching. No, they do not understand. Had free fireworks here for most of the night Dave. No hail this time around. Possibly some more storms later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred Bear Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 G'day Ian. The Oaks was on Nine News just now. A house had its roof ripped right off. Hopefully all the aircraft there are ok on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
