Aftermath From The Storm That We Recently Had In Mount Druitt/Rooty Hill

Well it has been just over 2-3 weeks since a wide storm raged in Mount Druitt, uprooted gum trees, leaving them to fall down by mothers nature way also pulling down power lines around Rooty Hill/Mount Druitt and Whalan areas. Some houses currently have tarps on their roofs waiting for roofs to be fixed by roof tilers, insurance claims to come through, fences and gates destroyed, ceiling at Westfield Mount Druitt fall and some houses are unlivable until the house is totally repaired.
 
In these times we are not looking for blame for cause, we are all attending to address the situation and replace the community back to where it was before the storm.


We have thanked all relevant services that has assisted so far and yet the job is not completely done but is in the process to be done. We note that Council is removing stumps off  the ground and filling up with soil and there are a few more stumps to do at William Mason Reserve, North Mount Druitt and there is a long stem branch lying horizontal above ground, which may be a hazard if people stupidly walk under it!

This is where a tree fell on the road and on the right side roof

This is apparently the second stage in cleaning the area and plans to replace the area where the tree was with other trees or grass and lastly wash to clean footpaths up. That is the last thing to be done!

This tree is lying as a potential hazard

We Must Thank All Emergency Services: Police, SES and Fire Services For Their Assistance In Clearing Roads, Parks And Homes!

I take this opportunity on behalf of everyone from all over Mount Druitt and affected suburbs, to provide thanks to the Emergency Police, SES and Fire Services for clearing roads, parks, houses, proper traffic management, street closures where and in organising  through Integral Energy providing electricity.

 

For a short time yesterday, power lines had dropped and fallen on roads and parks cutting off power. Most of the power has been
restored within our community, most branches and uplifted trees have been cleared or placed aside on foot paths. As our community is getting over the shock of loss of houses, finding another accommodation, loss of brick/timber/Colorbond fencing, we are  so luckily a lot trees that had fallen on properties or cars at Westfield Mount Druitt, ending with no fatalities.

These emergency services personal have restored our Mount Druitt community and place to where it should be. We are proud of the men and women that that provided such great service to our community. It makes me proud to be Australian.
