Extreme Weather

February 15, 2015

I am sitting in the Darwin airport, reading all the post about the east coast freeze and worrying about my pipes at home while I am waiting to hear if my flight is going, pending the category 5 cyclone coming this way, hoping to get to Alice springs where it is going to hit 106F today. Weather forecast for everyone in the world: extreme.

  Wow! Praying you will be safe. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip. We took the Tauck Tour about 15 years ago and it sounds so similar. Alice Springs and Ayers Rock next. You are seeing the wonders if the World.

  Well I made it to Alice springs. I checked potential quick flights back to the USA in case my pipes burst and it will take several days to get there so I have to let go of my worries and just live with the consequences. Now I am in need of a hydration …

  Is there someone in the US who has a key to your place who can turn the water on a slow drip to keep your pipes from freezing.
