Storm

Yesterday afternoon we had a major storm, complete with large, damaging hail.Here are a couple of pics of the aftermath.


I had friends around at the time of the storm, so I didn't really get much chance to assess the damage until this morning. The only real casualties were the rear window of my car, and the polycarbonate roofing between the house and the sleepout at the back of the house.

Initially I was going to leave the car window as is, with just a tarp over it, until a repairer could reach me. But due to the scale of the storm, it seems that that might take several days. In the mean time, more heavy rain is forecast. I wasn't confident that the tarp would keep the car watertight, so I removed the broken window, and taped a plastic dropsheet over the hole, then put the tarp back over the lot.


My insurance company is flooded with calls, so it may be a day or two until I can reach them. Not much more I can do now.
