Yep sure did, rattled the glasses in the cupboard and gave the house a good shake for about 45 seconds or so. Even got the chime on the clock to start working again - beauty 1 less job I have to do.

Thankfully as you say. We've had enough rain from the tropical low to make you think a tsunami has gone thru with the amount of water lying around.
Wet season . Best time of the year :D

looking at the weather channel, Nt & N.W. western Aus. are going to cop it big time, a low and a cyclone.

I reckon any part of NSW that gets cyclones, should be part of QLD.
