The weather forecast for Wednesday evening was not good. Heavy rain, winds, flash flooding. There were reports of animals in pairs seeking a large boat. When the weather front moved over our house all the predictions felt plausible.
The clouds were going in all directions. We got some good rain – 25 mm in the rain gauge, but that’s about as reliable as a politician. Some places near us had a lot more rain, but it brought flash floods and a bit of damage. I’ll settle for 25 mm of rain.

ReplyDeleteI have heard the weather down there has been rather stormy. I do hope Melbourne can put on some great weather for me at the beginning of December!! I have so many ideas for my photography!
I love seeing roiling clouds like this, great photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are apocalyptic clouds - glad you escaped without damage.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, but I'd rather see the pictures than be there, if it's all the same ;>)...we think (hope) we are beating the storm that is coming down from Alaska. So far so good. (We're now in Northern California). Slow-tripping.
ReplyDeleteI trust you and yours are all safe after your storm (or at least that you are safe on the Ark!)
Very dramatic images of the sky!
ReplyDeleteStewart, those are some incredible clouds. They look very heavy with moisture. Excellent shots!
