Sounded like a freight train going past the house at 3.30. and loose something banging on the roof. Had a quick look this morning and all I can see is a slate missing and the bin blown across the yard. Certainly sounded like the worst wind we've had yet. River/flooding is down a a touch this morning.

What you need is concrete footings and, ffs, don't buy the cheapest panels available.
Tis true we totally fenced the garden 23 years ago but the whole thing needs replacing now . what was left was totally blown into the storm drain/ditch.

And my LFT is finally negative.
Yep , had a lovely day on the golf course up at Swanston. Bright sunlight and no more than a two club wind.
