We had a lovely quiet day at home yesterday. Well it was quiet in between thunderstorms and there were quite a few of them! In fact it was the weirdest weather I have ever seen. There was even a tornado at Fiskville, a small town between Bacchus Marsh & Ballarat. We never get tornadoes. Well hardly ever I know of one other one a few years ago. The western side of Melbourne was on tornado watch for a while.

While we in Victoria were being battered with hail and thunderstorms the top end of Australia was preparing for T.C. Grant to make landfall. The news websites made so many comparisons to Cyclone Tracy which hit Darwin on Christmas Day 37 years ago. I felt awful for those in the Territory but at least this time around they are better prepared. The buildings are built to a better standard and the strength of Grant isn't as bad as what Tracy was.

We have definitely had a mixed bag of weather these past few days. I am sure that this is only a taste of what's to come.
So what's the weather like in your neck of the woods? A lot calmer than here I hope.

WOW! You were really getting hammered in your neck of the woods!...I'm happy to report that our weather has been uneventful for a while. We are getting a little mixture of snow and rain tonight, but they say that by 11:00 tomorrow morning it'll be sunny and warm!...I hope your weather turns for the better too...if it already hasn't.
Poetess, it was much nicer today. A bit rainy and on the cooler side of things. I hope that the weather is sunny & warm for you today :)
