These are a couple of photos I took on Wednesday morning after the storm (photos taken with the phone so not so brilliant). This tree had been right across the road into camp and by the time I saw this they had cleared the road but the wires were still down.
This morning this is the same tree but the damage has been repaired to the lines and most of the tree has been removed. You can see the huge root span that these tree have, but no depth of root which is of course what makes these trees so vunerable. There was a tree surgeon on the camp in the recent past who helped identify and remove the most dangerous of trees. Thank goodness that was done or we may have been looking at serious injury or loss of life. As it is everyone is safe and well.
I went up one of the streets and found these 2 trees in someone's front garden:
And this is the work being done at the Boat Club. The first is the playground and the second the drive way into the club. Still closed but they have promised it will be open tomorrow but we will need to see. A third of the Boat Club roof was gone.
And this is the house of the folks next to the club who had a tree fall on thier house (see previous page for the view of their house covered by the tree). The family I believe have been relocated to the Marriott.
