Yes, very sad. Raining here, but just rain. Not like in Sydney and other areas.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We've still got the heat - I'm hoping it'll go out to see before it reaches here...

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It didn't go out to sea in Sydney because the western suburbs were the worst and then apparently it moved up to Gosford. The northern suburbs are just getting rain and a strong southerly.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We haven't had any rain or signs of thunder yet so hopefully it will stay away...

[Sharon]

I want an air conditioner.

As much as I love the thought of rain at this moment, we are too often recently hit with horrid storms, rains and floods - hopefully our little fans will help us sleep and as Brenda said, we don't get the horrid storms that hit Sydney and are due here latter tonight. Hopefully, they will by pass here at Nelson Bay in Port Stephens.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thunder and rain has started - wind too:(

[Leonie]

Finally cooling down here after a quick thunderstorm.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh I hope ours is quick Leonie!!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

We are still getting rain and strong wind but it is nice and cool now:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We've just gone from 34 to 26 in a short period of time, and have a violent thunderstorm directly overhead at the moment...

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Oh dear! Hope it moves on quickly.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

So do I! The gutters on the front verandah are running over - gushing over. I've just unplugged the TV and computer and turned off the air con...

Terrible weather Michael - such a violent storm with huge amounts of water in such a short period of time!

Celine Dion's husband has also passed away today

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes I saw he passed away overnight after a long battle with cancer. A sad day for Celine and her children.

Cancer ... it is a nasty, nasty disease.

[Nicole]

Its snowing here in the middle of Ireland. Rather hard to drive on, Makes roads slippery.
My kittens don't know what it is. hahaha.

[Nicole]

oh ...we had a bad storm the other day and too much rain, and my back yard was a lake. between 2-5 inches. I discovered that knee high boots don't keep the water out.

[Nicole]

Homes in Dublin and low lying areas were flooded or threatened by high water. Many houses are along canals. A nearby river with a stone bridge was in flood, its normally one foot deep, it rose by over 2meters. we thought the bridge would crack.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds like some of your weather is similar to ours Nicole...not the snow, but the rain! Flooding here in parts ATM!
