Overnight Queensland Australia was hit by what is being called a once in 25-year storm.

The dangerous winds of up to cyclonic force ripping their way from the Hinterland through to the coast.

This storm has left more than 145,000 homes and businesses without power, one man aged 20 has died, his mate lucky to be alive after being rescued, another couple saved from their car when live power lines fell on their vehicle.

Even the channel 7 studios were not immune to the damage as their studio and offices becomes a flood zone as their roof buckled under the strain of rain and wind.

In some areas 70 mm of rain fell in 20 minutes that’s 7 cm or over 2.5 inches in less than half an hour…

Queensland often bears the brunt of cyclone and storms, its the price of living in such a beautiful climate, but these storms have been growing in intensity over the years, From Drought to Deluge, it is so erratic even the Bureau of Meteorology is stunned.

My question remains the same, Is this Climate Change and just the start of what is to become or is the norm, just erratic weather?  After all if this is a once in 25 years storm, does it happen every 25 years which would put it as a regular event, even a once in century storm simply repeating its might 100 years on.

Given Queensland and Brisbane (as the capital) have been in drought for so many years, could this simply be nature’s way of correcting the situation.  Thousands of people praying for rain all having their prays answered at once?

Or is this a sign of things to come, time to get used to it or will be looking back on storms like these and dreaming of the good old days of mild storms and minor damage as they intensify?

Either way I do think it’s going to be bumpy ride for quite a while to come. Regardless of if this is a natural cycle in Earth history, Global Warming, or Drought breaking I don’t think we have seen the worse of it.

Forever the Optimistic Cynic… you know hope for the best expect the worse and find comfort somewhere in between, It isn’t even summer yet, there is still the Cyclones, more thunder storms, huge sea swells, flash flooding, dumping rain yet to come to Queensland as the temperature climb for what is being tipped as a record breaking summer heat.

What will you do?

Time to move, ride it out, evacuate or pretend it isn’t happening
