I've been watching the lightening in the distance for the last hour or so...the rain finally arrived about 5 mins ago. Sounds pretty wild out there! I love thunderstorms! 2009-10-30T23:51:01+11:00 false 13458 2820 2009-10-30T23:51:01+11:00 9591 Ooh yeah, wild indeed, that's the weather of old. The lightning was silent prior to the rain, must have been high up? Nice to have the tanks overflowing ( I haven't looked but if they are not then it's because they had a hole in them! You'll be pleased with your pavers ;) 2009-10-31T00:16:20+11:00 false 13460 2820 2009-11-02T12:13:03+11:00 5165 Western suburbs reporting in: some showers heavy in parts. 2009-10-31T00:47:16+11:00 false 13461 2820 2009-10-31T00:47:16+11:00 11525 Roger Wilco :) I wondered if it passed over you guys, I only looked at the radar when it was on us. No flooding? 2009-10-31T01:05:28+11:00 false 13463 2820 2009-10-31T01:05:28+11:00 5165 I did wonder if I was choosing electrocution as I walked to work through the storm with my duck-handled umbrella doing it's trusty duty... More storms forecast for late today... described as 'squally'... Could be Interesting Times! (note the use of one exclamation mark here, which proves I'm perfectly sane). 2009-11-02T08:26:27+11:00 false 13481 2820 2009-11-02T08:26:27+11:00 10729 @graibeard: absolutely pleased that I'm not having to trudge round in boggy mud...yay for pavers! My chooks like them too :) My 2 year old was so cute - there was more lightening out our way last night. He quite liked the "flashes" (as he called them) but when the thunder started, he grabbed me & said: "Hold me, mummy. Hold me tight, mummy!" So cute :) 2009-11-02T15:58:52+11:00 false 13484 2820 2009-11-02T15:59:24+11:00 9591
