Hello! Its awesome to see you again. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks, again, for visiting!

It was the winds first, the dust then and then later through the day, the rains. Yep! We had it all yesterday. It was like something straight out of a movie. With winds up to 120-130 km per hour blasting through Melbourne, it left a trail of utter chaos. Bins (with it being bin-day) and branches were strewn all over our neighborhood. Public transport was left rattled and with it the commuters as well. The most unfortunate were the deaths caused by the destruction. And while I write this I hear about another casualty. An electrical technician electrocuted while trying to restore electricity to some suburb.

On my drive back home, seeing the shorn branches and uprooted trees, I remember feeling really queasy worrying about this one massive tree on the corner of our front yard. I thanked God the minute I saw it standing there, shaken but still all there. I guess pictures shed more light than words ever would.
