A thunderous event

Another storm tonight. It's a big one too, and has now moved right over us. The lightning show is incredible, and the thunder is ear-splitting.

One thing though, it has cooled things down considerably. I think today seemed like a pretty typical summer day in Brisbane - hot and humid. There's no comparison with the heat in Perth, it's altogether different.

It will definitely take some getting used to the subtropical climate here. One thing I am glad of though is that it doesn't get freezing cold here. We would get some very chilly winter mornings in Perth. I spent a winter in Canberra as a missionary many years ago, and I couldn't live in a place that gets that cold.

The tropical storms here don't seem so bad now...
