hehe. misunderstood the comment. In contrast, you can't really predict the weather here. But when it gets blistering hot midday - be assured that a thunderstorm is on the way in the evening. pretty routine.

thunderstorms I mean... typhoons too!

Yeah, now WE got the monsoon. it came down so hard that it was bouncing on the ground. Some dams burst and lost water and dams that were not full or were empty are full. From just three days of steady rain.

I spent a year and a half in Korea. It get's as cold as Canada in the winter, Hot as Georgia in the summer. Don't forget the mosoons and the flooding in the summer!

Once I had pulled a double shift (That's 24 hours in an Army communications job) and a monsoon hit had and flooded half the base right when I was about to get off. Our company was held up in the barracks so that meant at least another 12 hours. Power went out, backup generators went out. Batteries only hold for a few hours. When we finally got the Generators running 3 hours later I was soaked and miserable.

Sergeant said, "I'm hungry, who's gonna barbeque?" of course it had to be me to go out in the freaking pouring rain with a poncho and grill Hamburger and Hot Dogs on a charcoal grill with water up to my knees.

It was fun though.

In Queensland, three dead, four injured. In South Australia four dead, countless meny more injured and trapped by floodwaters. We in SA got most of it.

Flood waters have dissappeared and we are back to normal weather.
