I have noticed in the bush if we experience some years of below average rainfall and then get wind and rain a lot of trees fall...the roots are closer to the surface I think...not a scientific fact but perhaps an observation or a coincidence....<BR/>Glad to hear you did not suffer major damage...Lizzie's Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986739328852657727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950721623717146798.post-90472378315340781532008-11-22T21:55:00.000+11:002008-11-22T21:55:00.000+11:00The rain is beautiful but a shame the storms are s...The rain is beautiful but a shame the storms are so furious.

He has been doing pretty well in the past ten years but occasionally falls off the wagon but to his credit has not fallen off the abstinence from drugs and alcohol, which is a credit. <BR/><BR/>Hey what you talkin' (Grandson talk) I know your world is far from beige.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>lizzie B.Lizzie's Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986739328852657727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950721623717146798.post-32747455238918244782008-11-21T19:08:00.000+11:002008-11-21T19:08:00.000+11:00Thank you for your thoughts Mandy.....This reminds...Thank you for your thoughts Mandy.....This reminds me of the seasons when I first came to the Darling Downs...a little rain in August, relatively dry September, October and storms and hail in November....I do hope you people south of here manage some rain....Send her down Huey....We need the aquifers filled....as well as the dams....below here in the Brisbane Valley the dams are getting run off but the dams that supply Toowoomba are still frightfully low and Toowoomba is still on Level 5 restrictions.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>ElizabethLizzie's Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986739328852657727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950721623717146798.post-30236750591358071542008-11-21T18:02:00.000+11:002008-11-21T18:02:00.000+11:00Hi Lizzie....I can`t believe the amount of damage ...Hi Lizzie....<BR/>I can`t believe the amount of damage that has happened up there in the "Sunshine" State....<BR/><BR/>What`s going on????<BR/><BR/>We had some rain the last couple of days...Tail end I think from all that nasty weather....<BR/><BR/>Stay safe.....mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138167666782938794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950721623717146798.post-5706480692107748702008-11-20T22:27:00.000+11:002008-11-20T22:27:00.000+11:00Looks great to me!
