Wind Damage

Rakino suffered in the storm...but not too badly.

There was plenty of foliage strewn round the island. A lot of the dinghies at Sandy Bay were dragged round towards the wharf and dashed against the rocks, including Mortgage Free and Clam. Some were damaged beyond repair others... Several houses sustained broken windows, missing solar panels and fly away roofing. The Rakino Olive Groves had heavy casualties, reportedly loosing 100 trees (uprooted).

An in depth review will be published in the Rakino News in several months time but to be on the safe side I suggest people with worries patronise our only remaining ferry service and inspect the damage for themselves.
