The internet connection is back!! ^_^
Oh how difficult it is to live without internet/phone connection for the last week.
As some of you all might have already knew, Sydney was hit by a once-in-a-decade 'mini cyclone' last week, starting on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday on the 19th, started Sunny, with cloudy afternoon. By evening, strong wind and rain starts pouring down. The wind was unsually strong. And through the night, wind just kept howling and rain just kept pouring.
By Monday, the sky was overcast. Wind started lashing through the sky. With strong wind blowing the rain side ways. I had a patient that day around noon. I prayed that the sky will clear a 'patch' so I won't get too wet. My prayer was answered with getting just a drizzle! ^_^
But however, the rain and wind never stopped. Throughout the whole day, it just got stronger and stronger. Thank God thought it was the start of a new school term, most public schools had a day off. So there's not as many traffic on the road. If not there'd be more traffic accident.
The night was spent in my in-law's place, as the wind and rain made things difficult to travel between the houses. Plus we were worried that the neighbours's gum tree would start dropping big branches like previously. And guess what. Many trees along the street started falling!
This is the scene on Tuesday morning from my in-law's place. A tree across the road at the national park had collapsed right across the road. The SES (State emergency service people), came in their yellow ponchos, looked at the tree, and decided to just push it to the side.
The weather was so cold and wet. Many places were flooded.
On Tuesday morning, Eric went over to take a look and see if there were any damage from the gum tree, but was surprised to see this sight.
Debris everywhere from the strong wind and rain.
A tree fell from the forest across the road.
