BEDFORD copped a battering in Sunday night’s storm with a row of Grand Promenade Shops badly damaged by high winds.

Grand Promenade Fish & Chips, the deli and Lahori Resturant copped the worst damage, with the awning ripped away and even a large section of the upper storey brickwork being torn off.

The Fish and Chip Store had half its sign torn down leaving only “romenade chips” visible, but a giant billboard urging people to “Read your Bible” was unscathed.

Elsewhere the damage seemed pretty minor: Tree branches fell, there were long power outages through Mount Lawley and Highgate on Monday night, and the Maylands foreshore was so flooded the jetty was completely underwater.
