Hey all.

Just got back from assisting with some of the clean up - still heaps more to go. There is one strip in shoalwater that has been hit pretty hard - one roof came of a house, bounced on three houses and then landed on another house 300m away. Unreal

Might be heading back up there later, lot of out of area resources (noticed Armadale and Kalamunda SES)

We (singleton) and Baldivis been up there since 1830 this arvo. Lots of water damage - mainly to houses from the last couple of weeks. Lots of nice big puddles to play in too which is something we dont get too see too much of.

Wasn't exactly my idea of fun, getting soaked to the a*** when that belting rain patch came through, but there was more people worse off than we were. Said it before, and will say it again, credit to you SES boys and girls out there, top work once again

Reports on the radio of damage to homes after destructive winds in Roleystone.

Hopefully not too much damage.

the roof at my work sprung a leak today the had to shut the lights of in the bakery dept

bomber, there's been quite a bit of damage.
Some sections of brookton highway have been flooded, as a dam burst. My friend that lives there currently has no power, and someone a couple of houses down has lost a roof, or bits of it anyway.
Edit: WILD weather has caused havoc across Perth, flooding properties, ripping a roof off a home and shredding trees in a "chainsaw-like" strike on a Hills street
