Brisbane

We got momentary gusts of 135km/h

Only me and one other person I know on the coast didn't lose power. Phones came back on Saturday afternoon, and internet came back this morning.

Today was the first day I've been out since Thursday, there's a lot of damage.

Trees have had thick branches pulled and twisted off. A house just up the road had it's roof peeled off. A building down the road the other way had it's roof pushed down and in. A building the next block over has a shattered window. There's a whirlybird on the footpath outside and I'm not sure where from. A tree grazed my bedroom window which bent the window frame out, braking branches along the way (but the window survived).

Can't get into work today due to floods.

At least now I can cross "experience a cyclone" off my bucket list.

Also I learnt where birds go during bad storms. The answer is inside hedge bushes along the ground.
