My thoughts go out to any of you who might have been effected by these terrible storms.  Let's hope things start to improved overnight.

How nice that everyone is thinking of us here in NSW.  I live in the Blue Mountains and even I am thinking of building an Ark.  I have no problems but am also thinking of those that do.  The rain does seem to be easing a bit now.

We have been hit very hard here in Lake Macquarie. No power since Monday night and probably not on until Sunday. I'm writing this from Macdonalds on my tablet that l charged at work. 
DH is still in NZ. I still have a roof over my head (a leaking one) and am helping neighbours not as fortunate. My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones. Puts it all in perspective - being without power and water is a minor inconvenience. Hope you are all keeping well. Mich xx

Michelle, it's so awful to find out that lives were lost. How terribly sad.
Glad you're okay and can help those less fortunate.

I've been thinking of all our Thermo friends in affected areas of NSW...

 . . . . and just when we think it's all over, look what happens . . . This was this afternoon after a sunny day.  More storms are forecast during the week but this is one time I'd be happy for the weather people to get it wrong!!  :(

So glad to hear that you are OK Mich.  The weather up your way is sure strange at the moment.  Couldn't believe the hail storm I saw on the news tonight!

Title: Re: NSW Storms
Post by: cookie1 on April 25, 2015, 12:26:22 pm

I couldn't believe it when I saw all the hail on the news. It looked just like snow.

Wow!!! What a freak hail storm GF. :o

It's midnight and we are back up and running.  ;D The weather has been wild and woolly. Beautiful sunshine today which made it easier but more storms tonight. (mild ones) Can't wait for DH to get home. Have cleaned up somewhat. Emptied the freezers a few days ago. Thinking that there is just DH and myself that we don't need the extra freezer in the garage.
Shame really as DS (butcher) bought a stack of meat up Friday week ago when he came up for my birthday, not that I eat it but would have been good for the house guests I'm expecting.
It will be so lovely to have a shower in my own bathroom without wearing thongs.
Now to deal with insurance.  :-\ I'm just taking the Dr Seuss approach to life.

Glad you have come out of reasonably ok Mich. Did you get hailstones last night? We were driving when we were pelted with hailstones. Hope we don't have more storms. Everyone in our neighbourhood is putting out so much furniture and other stuff ruined by the storms.

It's hard to believe it can get that bad but pictures don't lie.  I was out all day and night so didn't see any of this on the TV news, unbelievable and I do hope you aren't pelted with more of the same.  The weather is crazy these days.
