    ugh - here and gone now. Left my poor cat stranded up in a tree, she is terrified and refuses to move

    Wouldn't have liked to have been out riding in that!

    That storm today was a beauty. It came in from the Nor-East and headed south (very unusual), then the wind changed to a Southerly and came back even meaner and better!
    Some pics below I managed to get.

    Just arrived home and my house is still standing, so it didn't hit here. Beautiful clear starry night out there now - the storm washed all the pollution away My cat hasn't moved from the safety of the warm bed all night, lol.
