The Storm

---

The wind, she did blow - thought we were at sea with Cptn Cook. In fact one blast Marg thought had completely rolled our boat - err, motorhome.

The buckets of rain fell most of the night and we were expecting to see flood water around us.

Today, (Saturday) has seen the wind abate, and even a peep of sun late in the afternoon.

It seems our departure from Ballina was timely as they had wind gusts to 200ks and rain has crippled their sewerage system. A couple of commercial buildings also lost their rooves.

Due to flooding on the main highway, we cannot progress in any direction more than a few kilometers, so we will stay here until floods south of Coffs abate.

So what do you do to fill in an hour or two? Teach your mate how to use photo adjusting software to get the image to the look you want.

Even though the wind howled last night, we could hear the surf (Down wind from us) roaring as well, so we took the time to go have a look. No one swimming or surfing due to the dangerous seas. No one fishing either.

By the way, we didn't get wet stepping out of the motorhome this morning, the picture title should have been the clue!

Break water
Boats in the boat harbour were protected from the surging surf, but copped a lot of spray over the wall.

Checking In With You Water Lillies
Hi I just found your blog info, etc. among my email. Glad to read the adventure is still in progress. I see you're experiencing stormy weather down under...well, it's been the same way down here in the swamps of Louisiana....rain and more rain. I'm, frankly, quite sick of it all. It's not that I dislike rain, but I don't like it in the winter months...cold, damp weather makes me bones hurt. Continue your travels in safety...may the angels travel alongside! Love, Your friend, Doris

The Storm
Hi Dorris, we also get achy pains when cold and wet. In this case it is quite warm, 25C, but wet!!! Not sure what today will bring, just heard thunder, and it is cloudy, but not a wild storm. That has moved south, right where we want to go. We were trying to be at our son's house today, but flood waters have the highway closed. Our eldest grand child turns 13 on Wednesday. We are not sure if we can get there yet. Hope the sun shines on you soon, bu so glad that THE SUN shines on you day and night. God bless Rob
