Trove Tuesday - Storms

 As I sit at my desk collating this post I can hear the wind roaring and see the clouds gathering and whipping up waves on our Lake.

Carey Bay - 19 January 2021

Storms and the damage they cause are regular events in our area. Several articles in Trove record instances of storm damage in earlier years.

Another paragraph in this long article describes further damage in the Lake Macquarie area.

Two years earlier in 1951 a child drowned during storms.
