I can remember when I lived in Sydney's west and the Temperature got to 45 C and the power went off it was just so hot I could hardly breathe, ah the good old days.
There have been quite a few records broken in Tassie today, 40 C today where I live. Supposed to be 27 tomorrow, the fires are quite serious but luckily for us they are not close by.
Mmm, I love thunderstorms. Dunno, it's just really calming to me. Plus it gives me an excuse to stay inside, hehe. Things are alright I guess. Nothing terrible.
