mrmarkus1981_1 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Lots of coverage in the news about 'Storm Isha'. What do we reckon? The real deal, or a damp squib. It's got very dark in sunny Dunny, raining now and wind picking up. Thoughts and prayers 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Im aware of the reason but if you're to thick to realise that pishing rain and a blawing gale might be a bit iffy without the need to call it Chantelle, then you deserve evetything that comes your way.

Cade Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Will probably have to pick up my wheelie bin sometime around Tuesday after it's all over. We will rebuild. But on a more serious note, my neighbourhood has had several trees come down in the last few months even in relatively minor storms, causing a fair amount of damage. However, the council (or someone more competent) has managed to get tree surgeons to take down mostly all of the big old (dead) trees that were at risk so hopefully we'll escape this storm without any more incidents.
