Well the long weekend was punctuated with summer storms. If you have not experienced tropical summer storms you are missing an amazing spectacle.
We had strong winds, large downpours, flash flooding, 70,000 homes without power and one cricketer killed by lightning. We were driving home from a friends place on Sunday when the second of the storms came through, thankfully the major part of the storm missed us, but it was scary driving around that. My family and I are safe thank you all for asking.
I don’t have any pictures but if you are interested you can see some good shots on Australian Severe Weather.
storms must be scary! I’ve never seen any.
I cannot imagine that you have never seen a storm. WOW.
Well they can be scary but the lightning looks amazing!
As long as you have you torches and candles ready for when the power goes out, it can be a lot of fun.
A big one went through again this afternoon. Was 34 degrees and nearly 90% humidity all day …. and then it broke at about 4.30pm. High wind … some spectacular lightning …. even some tiny hail …. and then clear sky for the sunset.
Love ya babe *kiss*
