Media overkill, the storm was nothing.

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.

i have family in Sydney, no contact.

i think they are safe, but probably the impact will add 2 years to their mortgage...

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.
