The chimney busted right through the wooden beam holding up the roof. I'm told it may an alarming noise.
As a way of reducing traffic - and hence damaging vibrations - many streets are partially blocked by these signs. Also many of them have a 30kph speed limit.

Laura Young and I tying down tarps over the hole in the roof. We did what we could to tie it down with tension and weigh it down with bricks tied to the tarps. Why? Because gale-force winds are predicted for tomorrow (Sunday) and rain on Tuesday.
Laura and her neighbour getting the chimney down before it comes through their ceiling. Ominous cracks were growing in the ceiling.
