rs73 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Last night the wind gust was quite big. Heard of some trees falling in Tullamarine area dropping on cars. Any wind damage around your area? Lucky not much on mine, just a bit dignity is hurt - here's what my wife found when she got home from work: The wind blew so strong till the wheelie bin "ate" my car....... It's either a case of the 2-wheeler falling in love with a 4-wheeler or the wheelie bin thinks the 13-yo car is rubbish. OWNED BY THE WHEELIE BIN! Anyhow green & red does look good in pictures!

rs73 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Gosh, is that in Northcote? I've just moved out of Thornbury/Fairfield area. Seems like hail or gail loves to strike there too. About 2 years ago a huge hail storm damaged a lot of units in my block and not to mention writing off some cars from water damage to the interior & electrical system, not to mention lots of panel damage from the hail.

saff_cossie Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Got a bit on the balcony. Cats had used the BBQ cover as a scratching post and ripped the corner. Wind worked on the small tear and ripped the cover quite badly. Need to think about a replacement but taking the claws off the cats could be cheaper.

Paradizzle Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Did anyone see the house that flew off the back of the truck on eastern freeway near Doncaster exit? Was yesterday at about 12:30-1pm.... It was one of those wide load trucks carrying a wooden house, and the wooden house was destroyed on the road.

rs73 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 There was a HUGE tree beside the house so my wife was indeed very worried. Nice job with the CAI, that'll help to act like a atmo-venting BOV for those build up sulphuric gasses inside the bin.
