The booming thunder stops and then the bloody crickets start up 😭

I know it’s getting over 100km around Melbourne, but we’re tracking 83km winds where I am in North Central, and it’s always scary.

We have cypress pines only 10 metres from the house. Well established and solid, but still…

And I just heard a tree come down a few properties away while I was typing that.

The dog is struggling with this storm. Normally he’s good.

So much flashing sky. I thought it was over but getting another wave.

Edit - my house is vibrating the thunder is so close! Can’t sleep through this.
