Brisbane Storm

Now I know compared to Hurricane Sandy, Brisbane's Storm may have looked a little small and less significant, but for people who live in Brisbane it was a pretty big storm from what we are normally prepared for.

I live in an apartment building in the city and from my apartment I could see chairs, tables, pillows and random stuff blowing of the balconies of the building next to me. The storm was what you would class as intense. I was home alone at the time and stuff was hovering on my balcony due to the strong winds so I was forced to go outside and try and collect as much as I could and bring it inside. I physically thought I was going to get blown off the balcony. After the storm had passed everyone from all the buildings went out onto their balconies to see if any major damage was done. No major damage was done but a couple of windows on the building next to me were blown off and some balconies had smashed (they have glass panels).

Then just a couple of hours ago Brisbane got hit again with what they calling a mini Hurricane. I wouldn't say it was that bad but it was definitely intense, again. This afternoons storm didn't have as strong winds as yesterdays had but this time there was hail, and a lot of thunder and lightning. I took a couple of photos from my window when ever I got the chance so I thought id share some with you.

The Storm Coming my way.

Lightning lighting up the sky

This was at about 5:45pm. Storm Clouds

Panorama View. I love this photograph. It's crazy how one side of the building is so light and happy looking and the other side is so dark and angry. 

My Favourite photo out of all the photos I took. Perfect lightning strike.

I hope you enjoyed the images I posted to illustrate the storm. I couldn't get any photographs of the hail as I was busy getting some stuff off the balcony so they didn't blow away. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you have a magnificent day/night :)
