Batten Down the Hatches NSW
« on: December 25, 2023, 05:23:48 PM »
WOW, the last couple of days there has been some big hail recorded.
An hour ago a Super Cell passed through New Italy, Evens head, I haven't seen reports of what damage, if any that has happened.
Social media is full of reports, big hail, trees down, flash flooding.
Just today, from about lunch time we had at lest 3 storm cells pass by.
Another one is just about to come our way.
Picture below from a Storm Chasing mob, Gundagai.
Take care Swaggers.

I hope all are well.

Trees & branches down all over the place here.

Neighbour lost a decent tree that went back into his yard, thankfully not across our side & onto the van!

So, this morning, the beaches are alive with the sound of chainsaws!

& possibly more to come later ???

Stay safe, everybody!

Bit happening in Shitney...
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me

A grass fire has erupted in Sydney’s south west, with thousands of residents being warned to seek shelter.

More than 80 firefighters have been sent in to tackle the blaze along Camden Valley Way in Liverpool towards Edmonson Park, as well as 20 fire trucks including Fire and Rescue NSW Bushfire Tankers and a Mobile Command Centre.

FRNSW have recommended people avoid the area, check the Hazards Near Me app and RFS website.

Meanwhile residents on Talarna Hill Drive to Jardine Drive have been told it’s too late to leave.




There is also a grassfire burning in Kanahooka, south of Wollongong.
All northbound lanes of the M1 Princes Motorway are closed near Kanahooka Road as a result of the fire, with motorists travelling north from Yallah able to take the Dapto exit and re-join the motorway via Northcliffe Drive at Berkeley.
