Sturdy Getz

So we had a bit of a storm come through yesterday... have lived here many years and had our fair share of strong winds etc etc but this was a cracker. Temp dropped about 15 C in about 5 minutes, sky got pretty dark, and we could see it building up in the distance from the lounge room window! Lots of thunder and lightning and massive drops of rain, then I noticed some plastic garden furniture going over the front fence and I thought hhmmm, I'll just wait this one out. THEN it started... big lightning strikes nearby, saw the roof of a factory get a direct hit and it kind of gave off a "puff" of something but no fire... then the winds came!!! It kind of just slammed into us...we have a few trees in our yard and they basicly bent flat, the windows were rattling and flexing in and out and it sounded like a jet plane was trying to land on our roof.... 2 minutes of incredible fury!!! So then it began easing off and wife and I ventured back to the windows to have a look and first thing I noticed was how much light was coming through the window, hmm, looked closer and saw that tree that was used as shade for wife's car was gone... well no, not gone but split, half still standing, other half laying across Getz.... oh dear!
Amazingly, apart from a heap of small branch debris, a few broken windows and missing fence palings and some plastic chairs, we dodged a bullet, and the Getz only slightly worse.
A few scratches on the hood, a shallow palm size dent on the roof, broken aerial and a bent wiper arm... that's it. Incredible
