Hope everybody on the NSW east coast stays safe. This storm is the worst encountered in many, many years. Torrential rain, sustained winds of over 125 km/h at Newcastle. Trees and power lines down everywhere. I made i to work (wish I hadn't) and it's one of a handful of places that still has power.
Stay safe everybody
I think the roof is starting to lift off he building!!!
 
Yikes sounds scary.... hope all are safe... and protect the blinky


Although we never see anything like that around here.... I can imagine the severity of it.

I came home yesterday to a flooded backyard and a flooded bathroom, the Illawarra Highway is closed due to flooding and I had to drive around several fallen trees this morning.
Still raining here and really hasnt stopped since Sunday night

The rain is a few weeks late this year so I wonder if thats got something to do with the intensity of this rain event
 
pressure wise it's not quite, but last night it sure looked like one

We're right in the firing line now! It's even got me a bit jittery and I don't scare too easily. The sound of the wind & rain is horrendous!
Hope everybody stays safe. This is a big one!
 
What you are now getting is what we had yesterday, it sat over Albion Park for a few hours yesterday, its now moved north but we are still getting a lot of rain here.

I think all sports fields will be closed for the next 2 weeks at least after this amount of rain
 
I just saw the roof off the building across the road go sailing down the street and slammed into a car & building.
This place is creaking and groaning like nothing else!
We have large trees swaying wildly only a couple of metres from the power cable coming into our building. I think we might lose power soon :-\ Trees are down everywhere
I really hope everyone stays safe. Be careful everyone
