Thunderstorm

I felt bad when I saw the weather prediction from Nov 16 - 22 in last Saturday night.

It said that it will rain whole week. Sigh! We were thinking to do our laundry on Sunday. What should we do if it rained? It looked OK yesterday morning, so we went to do our laundry and put our clothes outside to dry them in the sun. We took the clothes in around 4:00pm when it became cloudy and dark.

It started thunder, lightening, and raining around 4:30 pm. We were hungry and decided to make lunch-dinner and prepared for today's lunch. The thunder and lightening got stronger and sounded like angry roaming. It was a big thunderstorm.

Our electrical power went off around 5 pm. Hmmm, our rice was half cooked, water and vegetables in pot were warm only, not to mention the noodle. Our landlord brought 2 candles to us in case the power did not come back. We waited and waited, but the power did not come back.

Around 8 pm, our landlord came to ask us if we wanted to use their camping stove to cook our dinner. It was still raining, but we were starving, so we took our pot, water and vegetables, noodle, and sauces and cook with landlord's camping stove. Then we ate our first candle dinner in Australia last night.

We could do nothing without power at night, so we just went to sleep after dinner. Finally, the power came back this morning around 5 am.

It is raining whole day. Sigh! So humid and so wet in here.
