I hope our Australian Gransnetters are safe and that anyone with family over there has heard from them that they are safe too.

I saw some film of it on BBC Breakfast news and it looked very frightening. I expect there were very high tides with it.

What a terrible storm.

The 8 metre high tides combined with the wind apparently sent sea foam inland which looks like a thick layer of snow.
