Australia severe weather

<< < (2/2)

nah... Sydney is fine.. Newcastle, Budgerwoi, and the riverina district.. they got the hammering.. i have a friend in Budgerwoi.. has a business there.. the town has had no power for 3 days.. she finally got hot water today.. her house is flooded out, sewerage was a major problem, as the rivers would peak, then more rain.. then a day later it would peak again... sydney just complains about the "what ifs"  they should be happy, as the run off from the floods is going into their major catchment.. Warrengamba dam.. so they are getting a positive.  They did get some rain storms, and some winds, but nah.. they are fine.  Newcastle, inland from there.. also Gosford and Woy Woy are a little bit hammered.. Electricity commission said its the worst Electrical damage in 30 years.  Some places are still without power.  The saddest part is the loss of lives.. you can replace things, but so sad when a whole family is just gone.. mum, dad, and 3 children, and another man, seperate incident.

Yes.. i have also been out in the sun today.. lovely winter here.. 25 deg C.. mmmmmmm... just lovely. That's 80F for all you others.



This will give you an idea of where it is on the map.. don't worry about the arrow.. that is where i originally lived and shifted to Coffs.. just south.. from me around Newcastle.. on the map above sydney is where the storm struck.  Hope this gives you an idea.
