Photos taken from our balcony before and after the storms
Since last Friday our region, the Central Coast, and further up the East Coast of NSW Australia have seen the worst storms and flooding in 30 years.
Tragically 9 lives have been lost.
Many thousands have lost their homes and possessions due to the heavy rain and flooding... and thousands are still without power....
Damages are in the tens of millions.

I was just reading about how people came home and found their places looted.
Horrible story. Hope your family and friends are safe.
thanks Morriconei
it was a long weekend in the true sense of the word (Queen's Birthday) and thanks very much for your concern.....we were luckier than most.....and it is terrible about the looting....same thing happened in the earthquake of '89...just terrible...
I am so sorry to hear all that people have had to endure Kim.... Im glad you and your family are safe!

Hi Kim, oh no what a disaster is right, I have been reading on line and saw it on the news. Just terrible what has happened and the devastation that it caused. I cant believe the before and after pics. I am so happy you are all safe and back on line! Big hugs xoxox
thanks for stopping by Pearl...
and I thought so ...you are really an elf...or is it a fairy????
hi Lisa
we just got our landline phone back and then the net went down again yesterday....we are really grateful that we have power as thousands in this area do not.....that's the good thing about living in these apartments as they have had back up power....
xxxxxxx
Hi Kim, I hope things are getting better and that the rain that is forecast doesn't make things worse. Perhaps it will do a U-turn and head up to Brissy! Fingers crossed for both of us!
hi Kitty
we haven't had any more rain yet...and many thousands are trying to get their homes covered...before it hits...
it could definitely head up your way...I hope you don't get the really heavy storms though....
Queensland has had more than its fair share of cyclonic weather....
How sad. We so rarely get rain here in So Cal that this often happens to us as well. We just aren't prepared. And the looters, how pathetic.
Yes the weather has been extreme here...it's freezing for us east coasters at present....12 degrees....and getting colder....no wonder people move North......maybe all the looters could move south !!!
