Torrential rain and strong winds hit Rockingham in the early hours of last night.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked, woollen trackies sagging, muttering 'Faaackinell'.
Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of damage.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
The Rockingham Times reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Read St.
One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Skye-Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying. My youngest two Joachim and River slept through it all.' The water rushed in the front door and out the back – it was amazing, the place has never been so clean!”
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg boots, hoodies and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Donations of $25.00 will be taken to buy a packet of Winny blue 25s and a lighter and cans of Jim Beam to calm the nerves of those affected.

Nice and so true.
I saw a families house of fire here. The father was running in and out the house removing valuable 
possessions and not once did he put down his can of Jack Daniels. When the fire brigade had finished they couldn't leave, someone stole their rims (OK, that bit wasn't true). When I moved to Rocko I thought, "how nice, that little with the muffin top is helping out her mum by taking her little sister out for a walk in the stroller, wasn't her sister

Whipingboy, maybe that's why he didn't put it down.
You have to work first before you can retire
Great to read how the storm affected Rockingham's upper classes, but how did it affect the poor part of the town?
