Its deadly calm at the moment. No birds about, nor ants. None of the local dogs are barking....very unusual. The white cockatoos have disappeared, Beaky, the magpie with a busted beak, has taken refuge on the verandah, where he sits glaring at me with a baleful eye, as tho it's all my fault.
Just had a look at the weather radar, might not do that again

Winds averaging 50 knots.....onshore........
Think I might go and have a little lie down, while the bed is still dry.
Yeah I heard you were in for more wild weather over the next couple of days. Yikes... take care.

They've had their share of bad weather lately. Hopefully it'll be a tad milder this time around.

bereau has just issued a warning that it is going to be bigger than anything in the last two weeks......even the kids are quiet on it

I have been in some wild weather, I really do not like the look of this.....way too eerily quiet for way too long

The ground is at saturation point, it won't absorb a drop...there is bugga all sand left on the beach....its kinda like sitting naked on a toilet with a bullseye on your chest........(not that I have ever done that

)

That quietness before it hits is spooky. You just know it is going to be big.

Sounds weird. Reminds me of the tornadoes I had seen in the distance. Had done my best to keep them in the distance. Was lucky that that was in Arizona mind you. I had someplace to run... If it's your home then you do not have much of a choice.
