We had a nice storm too but nothing damaging.

Thank goodness the kids slept through most of it :)

Hope you didn't get anything too rough Houghy.

We had an early evening storm which cleared away to a crystal clear night.

I didn't get a chance to take advantage of it as I other things to clear out of the way first, maybe tonight as it's all looking good at the moment.

Cheers

must have been retribution - the 16 is now residing at home

Not sure if it was that front or an earlier one that hit us at about 22:00... I was in the middle of copying photos to an external HDD for a "slide night" presentation when the pooter curled up suffering the black death...:doh: I'll try again today...

I haven't checked the rain gauge properly but from the back door it looks like we got 2-4mm rain:shrug::rolleyes:.

On a serious note - hope everything is okay - we had nothing but clear starry skys.

Wallsend and Elermore vale had minor flooding, given the duration and intensity of the storm it was between 1in 50 and 1 in 100. we have had 4 events of this calibre since January this year:sadeyes:. I am getting sick of this weather :help:- you guys up north in Sunny Queensland will definitely understand. Petra thanks for the concern. Has Dave got his trebuchet prepared for this year??;) Maybe you can test the 20" mirror?

Just to make you guys feel better when I used to live in New Guinea there was place I worked out of called Kikori that got 38 FEET of rainfall during the wet season.

Clear skies all.
Cheers
