didnt amount to much aye 
still, welcome back to real queensland weather (stinking hot all day, ridiculously stormy/rainy all night) its been a while since we have seen it im so glad its back to normal!
my little tenterfield terrier doesnt give 2 hoots about storms, no matter how big(and you get some pretty massive ones in nambour where he lives).
he just picks up his ball and falls asleep on the couch.
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
