Calm after the storm



On Sunday, 10th of June, Perth got hit with a huge storm that lasted about 2 hours.  Rockingham/Mandurah bore the brunt of the storm.  On the way to church, we saw the carnage that the storm wreaked - trees down everywhere, no electricity, roofs blown off, boats washed up on the shore, many boats sunk after breaking free of the moarings.  The power of God displayed in a 2 hour storm!
The following week, we went for a walk on the beach.  The sky was blue and there was a slight breeze - a far cry from 7 days earlier.  Below are some photos of the damage on the beach.
The beaches are flat, the sand dunes washed away.
Dunes are exposed, with most footpaths and access points washed away.
A yacht washed up on the beach.

More people checking the sorry state of the beach.
A fishing boat washed up too.
