The killer storm

Maybe some of you knew about the storm that hit Brisbane last Sunday (a week before this recent Sunday). Heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and thunder are normal occurences during Spring in Brisbane. But this year, storm came and brought disaster to one suburb called The Gap. It is about 10km from our home.

On that Sunday, 16th of November, I heard rolling thunder (kat sini la baru faham apa maksud rolling thunder, macam lagu A-Ha. Seriously, it sounded like a full barrel rolling down a hill), at around 4pm. I was ironing clothes at that time. Lightning struck, followed by thunder, and repeating. Then came heavy rain. Strong wind, hollowing, it was scary.

I managed to take some pictures.






I only knew about the disaster at The Gap when one of my colleague mentioned about it on Tuesday, 2 days after the aftermath. It was pretty bad, roof blewn away, people became homeless, many loses, flood, and worst the storm has claimed 1 life. Alhamdullillah nothing bad happened near our house.



Remember the entry about my kitchen floor that was flooded last week. Apparently another place called Ipswich was hit by a storm that night, and it was also bad. According to weather forecast, another storm is coming soon. Just hope it wouldn't bring disaster again.
