Rolling in over Sydney Harbour - a storm befitting the word menacing. Swallowing up the light
and creating a dark sky full of rain - interrupted by flashes of lightning. This wasn't a scene
out of a movie but Wednesday. It's hard to believe that the morning had been the sunniest
and warmest that week according to meteorologists. But in the afternoon, it took a major turn
for the worst.
Standing still was not an option. And although some employed the use of umbrellas, somewhat
ineffectively. Others succumbed to the elements. If you were travelling by roads, it was slow
going with delays on public transport too. Some flights to Sydney's Airport were diverted
to Canberra and Brisbane. Some residents took to Twitter to call this 'apocalyptic'. But
this isn't the end, if you have been listening to the forecasters. They're saying there is
storm potential over the next few days.
