Hang in there, Brisbane.
Elizabeth November 20th, 2008
Back in my home town of Brisbane, Armageddon has arrived. It would seem that mother nature’s answer to a decade of drought is to pummel the city with storms that rip trees out of the ground and throw them on peoples’ rooftops. My old suburb of Ashgrove is one area experiencing flash flooding, although my parents’ house is high and dry on a hill.
More storms are expected tonight, and an even bigger one tomorrow night. It must be completely heartbreaking for the many people who have lost everything.
At least these guys had fun with it. Secretly, I’d have loved to have experienced it too – as long as I came out the other side with everything intact!
Planet Earth is so cranky with us right now. Or maybe it’s the Big Guy sending us a message? After all, Victoria is facing a threat of locust plagues right now…
It’s all a little too Biblical for me. So instead, I’d like to close with this little piece of advice for my Brisbane friends and family:

We survived the storm on our side of town- haven`t seen anything bad on the news as of yet but am hoping the rest of Brisbane survived okay. There was a lot of hail, rain and lightening though but the wind didn`t seem too bad.
The weather in the world is going crazy right now!
Hope your parents in Ashgrove are okay, I am guessing they were hit pretty hard in the one earlier in week!
that’s cute — go, go, gadget legs!
hope family and friends are dry and, more importantly, safe!
