While it was flooding for some, an extended power outage for others and forced downtime for many, Nadine Hartwig (nee Wright) has lost everything. The Labrador woman was taking shelter in her bathroom as ex-tropical cyclone Alfred tore through her apartment block, ripping the roof off above her. Riding out the half-a-century storm on her own, Ms Hartwig bunkered down under a mattress when loud sounds came from the roof. “I’ve lost it all,” she said.
