There's a huge black storm coming over the north west too. I'm just hoping it'll cool things down!

Well the sky dosn't look to great, not raining yet though. We actually got hail here the other day, first time since I have lived here.

Looks like I won't be going to Chermside late night shopping tonight in this weather.

Well in Ipswich the storm was quite thrilling really!!
The sky was dark turquoise ( but it didn't hail) & my goodness the wind was so strong that the whole house & the windows were shaking!!
Ds kept saying "in the sky", "ooh". Was very cute!!
I love storms!! I would've sat out on the deck if ds wasn't around... he was a little scared!!

At least it cooled the place down a little!!

oh that storm was HELL ... in Browns Plains anyway..

I was driving (with Jack in the car) - when it SLAMMED us on Beaudesert Road... it was REALLY scary (I prayed the whole way home!) ... it was our first storm in the car... and Jack slept through the whole thing !! the rain was coming from all directions... huge winds and branches blowing across the road!!!

I think I did 10 k an hour down my street!! - I was SO relieved to get home...

hope everyone in the area was safe!!!

Well I love storms too . All bar this one, it was the first time I kinda got a bit scared (since moving here last July).

The thunder and lightening was constant and loud like a freight train .
The water is ankle deep in our car port. I was worried we were going to have a flash flood!

Hubby rang me from work afterwards and said there was a mini tornado at Mt Gravatt or somewhere around there! Freaky. Was definately a biggy!

Wasn't the sky a funny colour? Thought it would hail, but nope. Just lots of water!

Glad you got home ok Veve. I hate being in the car caught in storm. Can be pretty scary especially when your visibilty is like 0 with the force of the rain!

Wow what a storm it was the first time that i have been scare
I rang DH to come home the whole house was moving and what a great mess under the house it was like a river and to top it of we have 3 dogs and

What really gave me the S**T's was the power went of so I did'nt get

We were sitting in the food court at Strathpine and didn't even know it was raining until the power dipped and the generators came on.

Then we looked outside and saw the trees almost getting blown in half by the wind.

When we got home there was about 3 inches of water leading up to the front steps so there must have been one hell of a downpour (and we didn't even hear it, lol).

There were huge puddles all along the side of the road on the drive home too so it hit everywhere, must have been a doozy!!

I looked out of my front door and thought we were in for an apocalyptic storm but I had only about 5 minutes of rain and that was the end of it - something of a let down really...

Well here's the photos i took from our house in greenbank.
Turns out that a tree fell on some power lines in Hillcrest and blew a transformer... blacking out Browns Plains, Heritage Park, Regents Park, Greenbank, Boronia Heights, Hillcrest and Park Ridge (just to name a few)...
We ended up at Grand Plaza, as i still had to do my grocery shopping, and when we were driving there Mt Lindsey Highway had no lights or even traffic lights on the exits. And to top it off, all these idiot teenagers in import cars where racing each other in the dark
Well anyway here's the pics
