Media overkill, the storm was nothing.
Goodlucktoyou
People should prepare more.

gogo - It's good that you were safe and happy.
My friend in Parramatta via facebook certainly showed a different picture or two.
Severe wind, 100s of trees down crossing power lines and extensive blackouts.
40mm ~ 100mm / hr, widespread flooding.
Glad I wasn't there.
Goodlucktoyou
i have family in Sydney, no contact.
i think they are safe, but probably the impact will add 2 years to their mortgage...

@browny1 : Yep a normal summer afternoon in Australia, I'm am being serious.

gogo - being from oz myself, I daresay you move in different locales.
Or you are imbibing in a different kind of swimthru.

Tell that to the residents who lost power/got flooded/had cars and proved damaged.
On Channel 9 news in Perth tonight and it looked bad...

Always keep a couple hundred dollars or equivalent cash on hand. Cards don't work well when the power goes out.

It’s summer in Australia and we get thunderstorms
