Storms across Western Australia,Perth to Albany,most still have no power

Perth still has blackouts,traffic lights not working in many places,trees across roads still.
All coastal towns and many inland as well, all the way down the south west of Oz.
I am talking hundreds of kilometers!This is huge area!

More severe storm warnings for tomorrow night!

I (and about 130,000 others) have had no power since yesterday and might not for a few more days(or even a week)
Mobile phones wern't working in many places too.
It's winter here,sitting by candle light and cold(and laptop going flat)
Most shops are shut.
Driving around is dangerous from trees,branches and power lines across roads,it's like a disaster area every town you drive through!

((Albany)))

Is that where you are? Hope all ok there

Schools have been told to send all students home at 1pm. First time I have known this to happen, must be a very big storm.

I feel sick in the stomach. Will have to make sure my phone and laptop are recharged. I hope it doesn't hit at night that makes it more scarier.

Didn't know that part about the kids, will check with the school tomorrow

Ok just read peaking at midnight....

Schools in the South West, Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River.

I live in Kendenup (Near Albany) still so many trees not cleaned up from Sunday.. Anyone know what time its gonna reach here and how bad this one will be?

Time to fire up that hand crank magneto powered computer. What? you don't have one yet?

Going to be an interesting night..

good luck people

Keep safe all. They said on the news that the worst should be over by midnight.

:129:

Just got power on here, but have trees down with one falling on a water tank.
The roads are still a mess although all the larger debris has been cleared. Hopefully tonight is not as bad as they are predicting.
PINNED to keep the information flowing.
Take care everyone

Cool! Thats excellent.

Climate Change, gets worse yet, Also one to remember, by removing surface mineral anomalies will have a dramatic effect on climate, as deposits such as magnetite, and uranium, are removed,will conract the energy system 'remember, it is a living earth, the price 'we' pay, for the next generations.

We got some interference on the perth radar.

I have received a notice from the school to ring tomorrow to see whether they are open and live SOR, my friend and bro live NOR and received the same note home from their schools. Never got this sort of notice before and found it weird or o you think they'll be preparing or power cuts or is it a lot worse than we think?

It was my sons birthday on March 22 when we got hit with that massive hailstorm in 2010 and funny enough it's my daughter's birthday tonight at midnight when this storm will "apparently" be at its peak.

Stay safe everyone

It is blowing a gale at the moment and at times feels like somethings comming!!! Very wild.
