Tropical Cyclone Oma




This is where we take our boat, out at Opito Bay a favourite place of ours. This is the other half's work ute launching it off the boat ramp. This week we have rain which is sorely needed here, so many people who live rural and have huge 10,000 litre tanks for rain are starting to nearly run out and farmers need their grass to grow for cattle. We have a cyclone forecast for this weekend but at this stage we don't know whether it's heading for us or Australia. Either way I"m sure it'll bring some much needed relief.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Call that a Pickup truck, goo dthing to two with. What do the use 10000 litre tanks for?

well here if you live in a rural spot away from town they use the huge water tanks to connect up to the house and that is their drinking, shower and washing water etc with a filter and pump attached. If you live in town like we do we are on town supply.

I used to live on the Mississippi River so I remember seeing people taking their boats in and out of the water like this. Good you hear you have some rain but, I hope that cyclone doesn't cause any damage.

Hope it doesn't cause any damage. We're getting rain in Sydney this week too.

Nice to hear that you had the much needed rain, just like we do around these parts. So long drought.

A cyclone sounds like something scary to me ...I’m such a weather wimp!
