Just remembered walking along Western Road, and one of the big stores had previously had scaffolding (which remarkably remained) covered by a huge taup...this was working like a massive whip and I joined a queue to run when it was on its upward swing....and this was when it was dying out..pretty...
I meant from the NOC.. ..
Was only myself, and the Telecom VP (Andy)... we started checking through our network expecting the worse, and everything, was pretty much ok, remarkably. People started drifting in from about 11 with tales of epic journeys, and lost garden sheds, roof, mashed up cars...
Remember climbing through the Stein to get to American Express...and on arriving at work, finding I was the only person to show up.....people phoning in to advise they were looking for their sheds, bikes, etc...
