The ground here is reasonably sandy too. <BR/><BR/>I remember floods etc. from my childhood, so you are right. Washed out bridge was probably the most dramatic.<BR/><BR/>It always seems to be windy after a flooding rain.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457300221571368059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348516103775255884.post-87276830201860635102008-11-21T13:17:00.000+10:002008-11-21T13:17:00.000+10:00Mandy...

My only regret was not snapping a photo of them, it was an incredible sight and the colours of it was just unexplainable!

I bet those funnels were an awsome sight to see though.<BR/>Some one is watching over you and your kids.Did you thank him....<BR/>I know I shouldn't but every time I see that photo of hubby I have a good laugh.The Old Dairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806470355969512482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348516103775255884.post-7120547324879918002008-11-21T11:28:00.000+10:002008-11-21T11:28:00.000+10:00Hi Mandy, Last nights storm barely hit me... I was...Hi Mandy, Last nights storm barely hit me... I was scared out of my wits about 6 pm it got very very dark and all of a sudden it was quiet. Dead silence, I glanced out the window and surrounding me was 3 funnels forming and swirling and the sky was bright green! Holy cow I thought as I rushed to close all the rooms and place a few doonas etc into the safe room (lounge ... has only one window) and gathered kids underneath to keep safe in case the funnels touched down and took the roof. It was the most frightening yet humbling experience of my life. Thank goodness I didnt get touched, the clouds and funnels suddenly dispersed around the house and moved on. Wow, thats an advertisment on a higher power if ever I saw one. I was spared! I ended up onlu getting a very light shower of rain, yet 2 streets away there is damaged roof's and torn up gardens.<BR/>Poor hubby of yours, got to eat his own humble pie getting bogged, and the kindness of strangers is astounding sometimes, true Aussie spirit!<BR/>Those dams are amazing, takes me back to growing up on the Dairy in South Australia.<BR/>xoxoxoxTeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366928264475596399noreply@blogger.com
