Everyone keeps telling me that I should be used to the extensive amount of rain since I am from Newfoundland and the only other place I have lived is Scotland… I am not. I didn’t move to Australia to deal with downpours all the time. On Sunday Brisbane experienced the worst storm in twenty years. A guy died in my suburb, there are over 4000 homes damaged, and they are still expecting more storms.
They told me when I arrived in Brisbane that there were 300 nice days a year. This is a lie. I haven’t made it through one week without it raining at least once. As I am typing I can hear the torrential rain hitting the tin roof of the house… While on occasion I have a fond love for thunder and lighting (despite my grandmother once getting hit by lighting) it loses its glamour after weekly bouts.

It might be rainy but is it as windy?
Hey Amanda!
Just found your blog. I understand the rain situation completely. Here in Palawan it has literally rained everyday for the past 2 weeks. A typhoon hit the other day, washed away a bunch of homes along the coast and caused a huge fire. Over 140 families lost their homes. The weather is disgusting...warm though.
Take care.
Walsh
