Today On Weather Watch...
10:47pm: It continues to be completely shitastic...the winds have been classed as cyclonic at times and even when they aren't it's just been a constant gale all day long.
However, I'm in a way better position than the tenants who know live at my parents old house in Cammeray, this morning I got a rather desperate call from them, the wild weather had taken it's toll and the glass roof of the sunroom had broken in, leaving water to pour in! Figures this would happen when Mum and Dad are far from home and won't be back until June! Neither the tenant or I had any idea how insurance worked - do you have to call them first before undertaking work like with a car? Or what?
Normally when you sustain such damage to your house you call the SES, but with the wild weather they were already responding to so many calls the tenant couldn't even get through on the phone! It looked like the only thing that could be done would be to call a glazier who could fix the roof, but who knew where to begin with that?! I had to go to work so it wasn't like I could be much help...I sent Mum an SMS, but who knew when she'd answer it?
After I got home from work and shopping I decided to call NRMA even though I don't have Mum and Dad's policy number - it's at their house and I wasn't about to go back out in this weather a couple of trees have fallen down in the street here! - and was making quite good progress until...I was informed that they didn't hold the insurance for the actual building. Do'h!
However, alls well that ends well, turns out that Mum had got into contact with the person in the other townhouse, there's a weird situation where despite being a duplex it's on a strata title, which means the insurance is through that, blah blah. But it seems to be all sorted out now, phew!
But still the rain and wind and even some lightning continue and are set to do so until tomorrow evening! Shiiit. At least I have my long trench coat though, to think my mother wanted me to give it to Vinnies!
And I've just remembered...I'm using my mobile as a hotspot because the internet has decided to die - probably due to the rain - so I better not keep going on here, there is still 9 days left in the month and I don't want to run out of mobile bandwidth.
So on that note, I shall wrap it up here! Wish me luck tomorrow...
Goodnight all!
