Storms

Comment Published at 01:4901:4916 comments16 comments41 Visits41 VisitsReport

Today in Melbourne we had a big storm with lots of lightning and thunder, flash flooding in some areas.  I tried to get photos of the lightning but very difficult

From my back door...

We lost of BBQ of the decking, It just rolled off on to the grass, Gas bottle and all, now that was scary I thought we might all blow up.

This is from the driveway from the front of the house

It rained on and off all day with a sunny patch inbetween.  It was hot and muggy..  That's Melbourne for you.

Re: Storms

No floods in our house, but if we didn't have the back door shut the rain would have come in thats for sure..

You poor thing did you have to get towel out to mop up??? 

I hate lighting as well, espically when I am driving, although I do hear that is the safest place to be LOL

I hope your house drys quickly and that the realestate do something about it.  Wow your poor friend, what a nightmare for her

Now I don't know about the glass in the car, but I have heard 'cause of the rubber tyres.
