Severe weather warning

The weather bureau just released this -


WEATHER SITUATION
A deepening low offshore from Bunbury is expected to move rapidly southeast
towards  Augusta during Sunday afternoon and produce DANGEROUS WINDS in excess
of 125 kilometres per hour that could cause SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO
HOMES AND PROPERTY IN LOCALISED AREAS. 

Winds associated with this storm are MUCH STRONGER THAN A USUAL WINTER STORM,
particularly in the southwest. The worst wind conditions are likely near the
coast between Bunbury and Augusta but DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS  could be
experienced in areas southwest of a line Jurien Bay to Katanning to Bremer Bay,
including Perth, Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Bridgetown,
Albany, Katanning, Narrogin and Bremer Bay. 

Across the entire warning area, DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 110 kilometres per hour
are expected which could result in DAMAGE TO HOMES AND PROPERTY. 

There are some guys out around the surf club but the conditions have changed rapidly in the last thirty minutes. Winds have gone from gusts around 25 ks at noon to 54 ks ten minutes ago. Looking over the water it ain't getting better in a hurry.
