WIND STORM OF JUNE 2022
Saturday 11 June - Sunday 12 June
From the late afternoon of Sat 11 June until mid-morning Sun 12 June 2022 the Sheffield area experienced a severe weather event. Very strong and sustained winds (with unprecedented recorded gusts approaching 200 km/hr) caused devastation. A human life was lost. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of trees - particularly mature Eucalypts - were uprooted. In all likelihood, many animals were killed or lost their homes. Landscapes were transformed, leaving bare dirt for weeds to subsequently flourish.
ABC Northern Tasmania's Rick Eaves attended Reflections on a Storm. Rick's story on the event and the storm can be heard here.
