Typhoon Nuri


Typhoon Nuri came to town yesterday, and it was pretty WOW. The big rubber tree in the driveway came down and closed it emphatically. I had parked one car next to Brett's house to hedge the damage statistics, so we were still mobile. When we went out to the shops in the mid morning there was botanical chaos all round - I've never seen so many trees uprooted, snapped off at the trunks, and generally deprived of branches. Every car is covered with a layer of little bits of leaves, not whole ones, chewed up ones. Amazing fury.
