Natural Disaster

Yesterday our city was declared a natural disaster zone. Mr Woggie (ooops, I mean Dean!) and I are ok, so is our house. Unfortunately my Mum's suburb was one of the worst hit. It was a freak storm what the bureau of metorology are calling a "Mini Tornado"

We are counting our lucky stars that all of the trees fell away from her house and all we had to worry about was flooding.

Here are some photos.

The most important part is that you and your family are safe! It must be scary though! Never been through tornadoes but I have been through some hurricanes! I know the clean up after is horrible!

I can't even imagine how scary that must have been.
I'm glad your safe and I hope the clean up doesn't take too long.

Thanks for sharing the photos :)
