But

A stormy Outdoor Wednesday

Welcome to my Stormy Outdoor Wednesday Post!
All of the pictures below come from The Courier Mail, here!







The Summer storm season has started early in Queensland and boy we had a huge storm last night. The storm brought strong winds, hail and power outages.Earlier on in the day, it was so hot in parts of Brisbane that some train tracks buckled.It looks like it is going to continue to be a hot week with temps reaching around 32 degrees (90 F)...Oh dear....it is not even Summer yet!

I filmed a little bit of the storm for you to have a look at. I have only just worked out how to do this so it only goes for about 30 seconds. It is very dark but you can hear the thunder.




Thank you to Susan from A Southern Daydreamer for hosting today's Outdoor Wednesday. I hope there will be some pictures of snow for me to look at over there-it might help me cool down a little!


Best wishes,
Natasha In Oz

    ooh that's some storm. The video was neat to listen to. The Dog Dude heard it though and just walked past the door. Uh-oh, storm issues. :) He's back in the other room, so maybe not. I forget your seasons are opposite ours. We had a very hot and dry summer here - worst drought ever. Stay out of the lightning. I've been near ...really near ... 2 strkes. uh-uh. (No). Later, Jenn

    Last nights storm sure was a doozy Natasha. We were at a school Presentation Night and the kids were pretty excited by the thunder and lightening.
    Hope you weren't affected by the power cuts.

    powerful and stunning just like the storms themselves... yes i will have more crafts coming your way to keep you busy over your break and most are very simple that I think you could handle ;)

    btw, do the bird feeder outdoors or right before you are ready to vacuum... it is a 12 on the scale of 1 to 10 messy!!!

    Wow! I thought Florida storms were something to behold-this is amazing. Great photo work.
    I love thunderstorms, the sound and the feel always put me at ease.

    Great photos! I wish it was summer over here - I am already sick of the cold weather and it hasn't really even started yet!

    Have a great day!

    Those pics are AWESOME! There's nothing I like more than a big ol thunderstorm. Always have. Here in Indiana, it's cold, cloudy and rainy. I'd take a 90 degree day over this stuff anytime! Take care, Jill

    I'm afraid I'm with John Ruskin! Those photos remind me of drinking west coast coolers on the catamarans at Mooloolaba beach and watching the lightning out over the sea... Sigh! WONDERFUL!!!
