Before I start I must say this..What we are experiencing is nothing compared to what our eastern and southern states have had to endure these past 7weeks or so.But due to power not being consistent I’m taking this opportunity to update those that have txt and called-as I am turning the phone off to save the battery life.
This week it’s Darwin’s turn for nasty weather. Tropical low started dumping rain on us Monday night..
Tuesday this blighter kept dumping more rain and horrid gale force winds…they put us on tropical low watch and then late in the afternoon tropical low warning-as the low was still over land they don’t call it a cyclone till it gets close to water or hits water or something like that…So this afternoon it did whatever was needed and is now cyclone Carlos @ cat1..rainfall up to 400mls has been recorded in the past 24 hrs…
Lots of flooding and lots of trees down-airport-schools..and all non essential govt sections are closed.The bugger of this beast is it is moving so slow like 6-7klm’s per hour so lots of rain…
Electricity went out @ 9.30pm last night-came back on around 11am then out and back on for most of the afternoon…
This morning I went outside and took some pics.
our driveway is a running waterway.
Our front paddock nice water view from the balcony.
Bottom of the stairs to inside ankle deep.
Lots of scenes like this around the paddock.
Our lounge got wet and some other things but they are only things..
I am grateful that our home whilst old and lacking in many areas it was built to code so we are safe here,I have a roof over me to sleep that does not leak-and the needs to cook with or without power under a dry roof..
Cheers Vickie
Thanks for stopping by

It certainly is wet out there. Although normally people pay a lot of money for living at a waterway LOL.
Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get worse for you. Although being without electricity can't be easy.
Take care girl .
Oh Vickie! We are watching it on the news and feeling speechless and brainfuzzed with all this CRAZINESS!
I hope you do not get any more problems...
goodluck Vic...........stay safe.......hope it moves away and wears itself out
I hope you are over the worst of it Vickie. Tickling the ankles is deep enough. Sounds like you may have to go back to stitching by candle light - how did they do it? xx
Vickie, Prayers and best wishes. I hope all is well for you tonight.
OH my goodness Vickie what can I say other than I'm thinking of you.
Hugs

Jeepers girl, I hope there isn't too much damage your way. Here in the west we are experiencing weird cyclonic weather as well. We have just recently had a beating with a hug dust storm, now more bad weather is on the way. Take care. Kind regards, Anita.
My goodness... the water and wild weather is just all over Oz, isn't it? Glad you are ok and there hasn't been too much damage... Stay dry!
lv,
Joy
Hello Vickie, stay safe...I hope Cyclone Carlos nicks off quick and disappears.......crazy weather all over Oz...Hugs Lyn
