Crazy Storm Footage Post by: Dan The Internut 23 March, 2010 - 9:04 AM
You won't believe this crazy footage we found of the crazy storm that hit Perth on March 22, 2010.
Watch as the cameraman (and his excited onlookers) check out the "olive" sized hail stones on the front lawn... and you simply have to see the damage to his neighbours hot water system to believe it.
The numbers you may need. You can call the SES on 132 500 (they stress though that please only call if there's damage done that you can't fix yourself), and if you need to know about when your power will be back on, call Western Power on 13 13 51.
Tell us about your storm story. How much damage was done to you?

I saw the biggest puddle (if that's what you call it?) on herdsman parade... people were driving through one car at a time... took bloody ages.

My house in Gwelup survived? No idea how?

After getting stuck on both St Georges Terrace and then on the train to Duncraig (it took 2 and a half hours to get home) my patio furniture got thrown around, a tree came down and glass candle holders smashed all over the bricks. What a mess, an open window soaked a bed and the laundry flooded. Still minor compared with some - I was one of the lucky ones.

Gotta wonder about our building standards these days. so many buildings (in particular shops) have sustained such damage. Yes, I know it was a big storm but shouldn't we be building for that contingency. Cyclone areas have to, even though one may not have gone through that exact area, the buildings are still required to be cyclone proof! Joondalup Shopping Centre was closed because Target and several other roofs collapsed. Whitfords still has shops with blowers going flat out trying to blow dry the carpet. So many schools are closed, indicating to me that maintenance standards have been poor. What would have happened had the children actually have been in the classrooms at the time? Everyones been so busy cleaning up and amazed at the havoc that we're missing the big picture.Tthis can all happen again any time unless we learn from it.
