#5 is great with the chips flying.
I think Eric needs some mechanical work himself.
I don't mean to sound blasé but having been in the SES for 15 years I have seen this and more.
It is great you survived but greater that you had the presence of mind to get out there and record it.
Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing, Mother nature can really put it on at times.
Trees can be trimmed and grow back.
Sheds and houses can be rebuilt.
But peoples lives can't be bought back.
As heartbreaking as it is to see such damage hopefully everyone is safe and being a country town everyone will pull together and help out.

Thanks people. Numerous chainsaws, trucks and trailers were out and about within ten mins. clearing roads and footpaths.
