More Post Storm Stuff

Its amazing how the day can change so dramatically over the period of a few hours. Here we are enjoying a fun afternoon by the pool under clear blue skies. Also, we'd almost finished painting and renovating this area; it was beginning to look half respectable.




And then a few hours later the sky turned green (yes, green). Its a sign of a potentially damaging hail storm and everyone puts their vehicles under any cover available. Then the storm started. The people in the know rated it as a Category 2 Cyclone. Unfortunately our beautiful back garden turned into a bed of mud and debris and suffered the most damage. By this time we'd also lost all power and phone lines.




Half an hour later we gathered with our friends from the street at the bottom of our drive discussing how bad the storm was and the carnage around us. A car was seen floating down the street, the dog park was destroyed but at least the kids were enjoying themselves.
