the point yacht club ,where the marina pontoons are,are frequently exposed to 50knot winds when a south westerly buster comes through,so were built to withstand strong winds.
this particular storm must have had some 100+
knot winds,and was like a mini cyclone caused by a very small intense low it also dumped over 10cm of rain in a few hours that caused widespread flooding locally.
funny thing was that in
brisbane,and hervey bay area
australia ,that is about the same lattitude,but 8000miles away, they were at almost the same time having very similar
weather with 140mm of rain in a few hours from an intense low.
