This was BS (before the storm). It was a struggle, humid and hotter than expected on the exposed slopes of Mt Painter. Fortunate that I did not over-extend myself on this run. Went home to dial straight into a teleconference starting at 11 and then did not get out of my running clothes until bed time...
It was a long day! Things started to get pretty noisy with hail during my call and eventually I had to say to everyone I was muting myself for unknown time due to the hail being too load to hear anything else. I went up to the lounge room to close the sliding door to stop rain/hail coming in. I noticed the Eoin was reversing down the drive so went to unlatch the front door to make it easier for him and Aoife to get out of the storm. As I did so, I noticed a bit of a trickle coming through the front doors. STUPIDLY I opened them to see what was happening and let in the first torrent of water. Tried to shut it, but too late, too mach hail and debris was now blocking it. So, spent the next while (was it minutes or hours?) laying down all the towels in the house to soak up (useless) and then bailing out from the kitchen floor to the sink. When Eoin and Aoife got in from the car, Eoin was bailing at the front door and clearing the hail/debris so rain could get into the drain and Aoife was helping me. We were ankle deep in icy water!
So, the day ended with the carpet on stairs ripped up, Eoin in the pool for an hour cleaning out debris, wet carpet in the lounge and my office, 3 smashed garden hoses, 1 broken window (the only one not replaced last year), decimated garden, 2 broken stools, 1 smashed watering can, 1 car in carport with 40 hail dents and cracked windscreen, lots of pockmarks in woodwork, 100 smashed clothes pegs plus a lot of washing needing redoing, and too many sodden towels to count. And my cold turned into full blown illness. And we got off lightly compared to many others.
Armageddon strikes Canberra for the 10th time this year.
