Perfect Storm - SEQueensland/Northern NSW
Just happened to get caught up in a violent weather pattern deluging/flooding and blowing away stuff, not the best place for a swim right now unless you're a duck or a seagull.
Struggling on through though. |
Hi - just so you know someone is here - in Wagga it is incredibly dry ... enjoy the wet

Bushranger - where are you?

I was right in heart of the Gold Coast Wednesday night Bokhara, sand being blown off beach across the esplanad and quite a few areas lost power but it was generally not too bad there though I think one guy got killed with falling tree branch.
Escaped after the dentist in afternnon to detour via Canungra and Beaudesert over to inland route and got through Tenterfield OK which had been getting a drenching all day and finally bedded down in Armadale. Just as well I did with what the Northern Rivers area has been copping - hope it'll be dried off sufficiently for a return in about 12 days. Had a good run down to Cobram on Friday and talk about dry Micador, passing to west of Wagga, plenty of top soil from ploughed fields being blown about. Off about now down to Melbourne and a night at the G. |
The man who was killed was actually sitting at his desk in an office block (a couple of floors up) when a sign that had been picked up by the wind outside, came crashing through the window he was sitting near, he actually died from cardiac arrest, though he had suffered multiple wounds from the broken glass. His colleagues of course, witnessed the whole thing. This was an extremely sad event and definitely a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I am seriously over 'the weather' we've had this year now! |
