I Should Have Stayed in Bed Today

The east coast of Australia was hit by a major storm this afternoon. MAJOR! The suburb of Penrith near when Johnny works had a whopping 33mm of rain in 15 minutes and the temperature dropped 7 degrees in 10 minutes. From our little travel agent in the mountains we could see the storm rolling in. The sky changed colour again and again as the bright afternoon day turned dark blue, green and black. Thunder, lightening, rain and hail. I am very sad to report that Orlando the Ocean Racer Volvo did not do so well when he went head to head with mother nature this afternoon. I believe that the below will be more than sufficient in detailing our distress at today's events!

  1. Kinda reminds me of our photos from hurricane Wilma that hit Florida. Hence why we are in Arizona!

  3. Oh goodness! Hope you are all OK.

    I'm going to try my very hardest to get to the Blue Mountains in 2011. It's about time we met.
