I took this from the kitchen a few minutes before the heavens opened and about twenty minutes before our house was struck and we lost the landline.

That wouldn't matter much to most people, but we're in a black spot as far as mobile reception goes, so if we actually want to talk to anyone, it's impossible.
Very frustrating.
Thank you Telstra.

I'd spent some time transplanting a tree fern and planting other ferns, so the rain was well timed in that regard.
