Although I'm not getting any rain, I'm getting strong winds. It is strange. The wind seems to start about 10:30 pm and blows strongly until about 9:00 am the next morning. Then it weakens and goes calm for most of the day. When it is blowing, the wind speed is high enough to break limbs from trees.

Sounds like a great spot for a wind turbine.

Apparently a wind farm is going to be created about 15 kms southwest of my place.

Will THAT get off the ground?  Nev

I think that the company constructing the windmills will have to be propped up.

They are called "Turbines" for some reason . Extremely efficient Variable Pitch Blades.   A Moving Piece of ART. . Like a good aeroplane or Sailboat.  Nev

Sarturay night Camden NSW recorded a totoal of 140 mm of rain. The Camden area over the p[ast 20 years and more so recently has been turned from open grazing land to residential estates. Remember the old song Tar and Cement ? The area was always prone to flooding as it lies in the valley of the Nepean/Hawkesbury River. With all that grazing land now covered with roads and houses, I reckon the flooding will be of biblical proporttions.

 

Meanwhile, the Sun till shines and Maria blows.
