How the Weather in Your Neck of the Woods?

I'm safe where i am ..... thank you ..... but it's bad in some places thats for sure .....

 

I looked on facebook this morning and no more problems yet. Hopefully it is all over in NewSouthWales (for now).
Here there is a strong wind but clear blue sky. I have not ventured out yet but have garden to do (my odd job man is not coming this week) Will plant some flower seeds in the beds and keep fingers crossed. I usually grow them in the greenhouse, but can't bend down to put them in like I used to! During the summer I will get some shrubs and perennials so next year the garden should look after itself. Here hoping for a lovely summer for everyone everywhere. Sun in the day to enjoy, and a sprinkling of rain in the night to keep everything growing well. If anyone is watching Poldark, they will see how beautiful Cornwall is (just keep away from the big towns).

 

Here in Korea its great spring weather. Sunny and a lot of wind >.< The summer clothes are out and ready to wear them ^_^

 

The snow has melted! The snow has melted! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
(there's still snow in places but none in MY yard! )

 

snobunny333 I'm so happy for you. Enjoy the good weather ^_^

Τhis is so sad news. Were there people killed?

 

Brilliant here today .... wall to wall sunshine, nice and warm ... but stuck in the house waiting for Parcelforce to deliver my 'Bat & Trap' set (Kentish & East Sussex game) which we are planning to give these 'Northerners' a fright with tomorrow night at the annual 'lambing supper' Only 300 left to 'lamb' now, lets hope the weather holds !!!

 

There is white stuff (called snow I believe) outside Should be gone today. And to think my grand daughter had 2 little league games at the beginning of the week Of course they were cancelled due to rain and high winds

 

It is medium hot at about 85 degrees but the humidity is at 80% so it feels so much hotter than that. I've got planting to do today but will have to wait till late to do it as it's easy to get overheated when the humidity is this high.

 

OMG, there's sunshine and no rain. Someone take a photo quick before it disappears!

 

So I made that post yesterday that the snow had melted (in my yard) and I wake up to find they got 6 inches of snow 2 hours north of me. Yup, 6 inches. Some days it's good to live in the "south!" LOL

 

Here are 22 degree Celsius and the wind speed is 4m/s, humidity 35%. But it feels so hot! I was missing this But... I will die in summer!! Not for real but I will feel like melting

 

Yes I think about 5 or 6 at this stage ,...... many homes lost from the sounds of it ... makes no difference as 1 life lost or 50 .... its tragic no matter the number i think .....

With any luck its starting to dry out up that way so they can start to rebuild and recover as best they can

 

Starting to heat up, 43°C (109°F) and it still only April.
Humidity a lot lower today though, around 25% it was much more humid the past few days
looks like it will be a long hot& humid summer

 

Υes of course it makes no difference. It is so sad.
Praying and wishing the best for those people families...

 

Guys there was an earthquake in Nepal.... I'm so sad..

 

How many Richter was it?

 

A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake has killed hundreds of people as it ripped through large parts of Nepal, toppling office blocks and towers in Kathmandu and triggering a deadly avalanche that hit Everest base camp.
Officials said on Saturday at least 688 people are known to have died in Nepal but that the toll could be much higher, while more than two dozen people were also reported killed in neighbouring India, China and Bangladesh.
"Death toll has reached 688 so far across the country," home ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told reporters.
Emergency workers fanned out across the Himalayan nation to rescue those feared trapped under collapsed homes, buildings and other debris.
"Deaths have been reported from all regions except the far west. All our security personnel have been deployed to rescue and assist those in need," Nepal's national police spokesman Kamal Singh Bam told AFP.
Officials said 10 people were killed when an avalanche buried parts of Mount Everest's base camp in Nepal where hundreds of mountaineers have gathered at the start of the annual climbing season.
"We don't have the details yet, but 10 have been reported dead so far, including foreign climbers," Gyanendra Kumar Shrestha, an official in Nepal's tourism department, told AFP.
"An avalanche from Mt Pumori has hit the base camp, burying a part of it," Shrestha said earlier.
"We are trying to assess how many are injured. There might be over 1000 people there right now, including foreign climbers and Nepalese supporting staff."
AFP Nepal bureau chief Ammu Kannampilly, on an assignment to Everest, was among those caught up in the chaos and reported that snowfall meant it was impossible for helicopters to reach the area.
Experienced mountaineers said panic erupted at base camp which had been "severely damaged", while one described the avalanche as "huge".
"Running for life from my tent. Unhurt. Many many people up the mountain," tweeted Romanian climber Alex Gavan from base camp.
But the worst damage was reported in Kathmandu, where the historic nine-storey Dharahara tower, a major tourist attraction, was among the buildings to have been brought down.
At least a dozen bodies were taken away from the ruins of the 19th-century tower, according to an AFP photographer who saw similar scenes of multiple casualties in other parts of the city.
"It was difficult to breathe, but I slowly moved the debris. Someone then pulled me out. I don't know where my friends are," Dharmu Subedi, 36, who was standing outside the tower when it collapsed, said from a hospital bed.
While contact with Nepal was sporadic, a senior Nepalese diplomat warned that the final toll could run into many hundreds.
"Possibly hundreds of people have died in various parts of the country, particularly in Kathmandu and Pokhara," Krishna Prasad Dhakal, the deputy chief of mission at Nepal's embassy in New Delhi, told AFP.
At least 26 people were known to have died in India, including 17 in the eastern state of Bihar, while buildings in the capital New Delhi had to be evacuated.
The United States Geological Survey and India's meteorological service said the shallow quake struck 77 kilometres northwest of Kathmandu at 0611 GMT (1611 AEST), with walls crumbling and families racing outside their homes.
The quake tore through the middle of highways in the capital and also caused damage to the country's only international airport which was briefly closed.
Aftershock tremors could be felt more than two hours after the initial quake.
Initially measured at 7.5 magnitude, the quake was later adjusted to 7.8, with a depth of 15 kilometres, the USGS said. It hit 73 kilometres east of the tourist town of Pokhara.
China's official Xinhua news agency said that two people, including an 83-year-old woman, were killed in the Tibet region as a result of the quake.
The earthquake was also felt across large areas of Bangladesh, triggering panic in the capital Dhaka as people rushed out onto the streets.
