Windy havoc across Tasmania

Reason why our emails have been down - Willard Estate Logistics was without power from 1100hrs until 1700hrs 1st October 2007. Then we have had an issue with our domain host which has caused a problem with emails - this is being sorted out throughout the night of the 1st October 2007 and we are hopeful to be back to normal 2nd October 2007.

Thank you for you rpatience (ours on the other hand is running out!!)

News report on Tasmanian weather as reported by ABC Australia.

Wild weather across the state has kept emergency services crews busy.
A woman had a lucky escape after live powerlines landed on her car.
Tanya Winn was driving along Rowella Road, north of Launceston around midday when wind blew a tree onto powerlines.
"Oh I reckon I was about 15 metres from the tree by the time I actually stopped," she said.
"And of course there was the interesting bit with the live wires on top of the car."
Across the river, at George Town the East Tamar Highway was also blocked by a tree but that has since been cleared.
Melanie Webb from the Bureau of Meteorology says the wild weather is across the state.
"Gusts to 139 kilometres-an-hour on Mount Wellington, that's the highest, 135 at Maatsuyker Island," she said.
The wind is expected to ease tonight before picking up again late tomorrow afternoon.
Aurora Energy estimates about 500 customers in the Tamar Valley were without power this afternoon.
Most have since had electricity restored.
