That 'storm' you mention, Robyn, was more like a mini-cyclone that came through. There was a low just off the coast and it blew and rained for about 18 hours, I guess. A limb of one of my trees here fell across my phone line, but that was the only damage I incurred, other than various branches and limbs broken from trees. My power here went off around 9ish on the Friday night but was back on around 8am on the Saturday morning. However, elsewhere on the mountain weren't as fortunate as this end of the mount were...I think some were out for about 48 or more hours. As I said, it was a Friday and it was in February two or three years ago. The worst that happened to me was when clearing up the debris I got attacked by grass ticks...the larvae...over about 50% or more of my body. I was just about insane from the beggars in that I went to the doctor who, in turn, put me on steriods! I was a bit put out...and told him so...saying "I'd miss out in selection for the Olympic Games!" ;) But, I can tell you, those little devils are not a laughing matter! I was having about six showers a day as I found letting the lukewarm water flow over my body helped, if only for a short while.<br /><br />Boy! I got wound up here, didn't I? ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-88745721126837246382006-11-16T21:44:00.000-08:002006-11-16T21:44:00.000-08:00Hi Lee,
Funny you should say the storms never get...Hi Lee,<br /><br />Funny you should say the storms never get ferocious on the mountain. A few years ago when Noni Hazlehurst was host for Better Homes & Gardens, she and John Jarrett had split and she bought a place on Tamborine. There was a big storm and she had a tree or something fall on her house, so for several episodes they showed the damage and what was done to get it right again.<br /><br />However, I think there has been nothing since then and I certainly hope you don't catch it. I often wonder how you get on with the weather up there when we're getting pelted on down here!Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-1163663333099842732006-11-15T23:48:00.000-08:002006-11-15T23:48:00.000-08:00Really, Peter...that early. The storm didn't come...Really, Peter...that early. The storm didn't come here until the afternoon...around 2.30pm or so.<BR/><BR/>It's that time of the year for storms. Touch wood, they never get very ferocious up here on the mount...well not so far, in the four and a half years I've been here. I think they run the gauntlet between the ranges to the west and the valley below.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-1163660812795171062006-11-15T23:06:00.000-08:002006-11-15T23:06:00.000-08:00Never a dull moment in the world of counter espion...Never a dull moment in the world of counter espionage Lee, good to hear the storms missed you, we were supposed to cop it in Gympie but there was nothing more than a heavy 5 minute shower about 10am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
