Hi Mari,
Unreal weren't they?! We were lucky. Wouldn't want to get hit by those ones.
Oh yes, this is just the start of our storms. Summer came early here - we missed Spring altogether. Summer doesn't technically begin until 1st of December. In my area Summer is the wet season so we've many months of heat and rain to go.

Could be worse. My heart goes out to those suffering in the Philippines.

take care there,
Lara
