CYCLONE DEBBIE DEVASTATION AT MIDGE POINT

This is what Tony opened his door to see his acreage!!

The en suite walls blown out front and back.


Both driveways completely blocked with fallen trees.
One cannot imagine what these residents who chose to stay on their properties went through during the days of this cyclone passing.  The noise of the wind and rain drowned out the noise of the trees crashing down, luckily none close enough to the dwellings they were sheltering in.

Talking to them five months after the event, one can note the effect it had on them.  While the grounds are now being cleaned up and burnt off, the mental aspect of all the extra burden may still take some time.

The main paddock burn-pile ready to burn once a permit is obtained and the winds are right.



New growth as the snapped top will be burnt soon.


Boundary line between the neighbours ready to burn.

Yes, the folk have done plenty of clearing with their heavy machinery but we still had to pick up rocks and smaller fallen branches.
