Lightning and thunderstorms coming probably all night now. The one i mentioned earlier is contained for the time being, but there is another one about 50km away.
Yeah, i've been sitting at home all day and sweating (while playing rFactor). It's been a very hot day.... We haven't had thunderstorms yet, but as I look out of the window right now it's starting to cloud over....
And it's supposed to carry on. Not to mention the town featured in the photos above has almost been cut off from everyone else due to the 2 bridges leading to it collapsing, killing various people. It's now a 35 mile trip to leave town, and people who left cars out on the road have had their wheels removed, windows smashed, lights pulled out and everything;
Wow that's worse then what happened back in 07 when I was there.

It's been pretty awesome here, it's cloudy and rainy but still in the 50's. I'm pretty happy with this autumn so far. It can stay like this till spring.
43C last Thursday with strong winds and thunderstorms which led to hundreds of bushfires, 26 the next day and ever since it's been cool in the low 20's and raining.
Whoa! Just had a MASSIVE thunderstorm. Lightning was striking what sounded like a few hundred metres away from our house. Lightning and then straight away thunder. Very impressive Storm.
Wow the bottom really dropped out of the weather, it's supposed to snow tomorrow. It's not going to stick or anything but still snow. I guess it's about that time.
EDIT: I just looked at the forecast, we could be getting up to an inch. The roads will stay clear though since they will still be fairly warm so it's just going to be a wet, slushy mess.
Sometimes i wonder if summer if spring is going to hit. We're getting cold weather at the moment and a fair bit of rain for where i live. Got 25mm in one day which is very uncommon and just what the farmers don't want right now.
Thanksgiving was 84 with bright blue skies and not a cloud in sight and I was in shorts. Now, it never reached pass 57 with rain clouds everywhere. Still wearing shorts, though.
Getting colder, only topped 38 today but felt much colder. Snow is coming though, Wednesday they are saying 1-2" possible. Guess I need to commence winter attack mode with the Cooper so I don't get stuck like I did last year. Should be getting the winter tires this week and doing some other protective bits like light covers and what not too.
Please send some rain to southern california.... we have been dry for months and months... not a single drop of water from the sky... it's sad to have the sun constantly every single day...
WE NEED RAIN !!! where have all the indians gone ???
Apparently my kind of weather hates me. I went home to a dry Thanksgiving in Seattle of all places. Well, after a night of rain driving and hydroplaning and being freaked out because it's been 3 months since I've driven and probably a year since I've driven in any real rain.
Now here in Holland it's back to 40s. Where is that snow!?
