I was awoken in the wee hours of wednesday morning by what can only be described as the sound of the apocolypse.
As the massive explosion rocked the house and reverberated around me, i desperately tried to make sense of the noise,
The end of the world!!?? No, im still breathing...
A Plane has crashed on the house next door? No screaming...
Someone has bombed Canberra!? But why? Yes we are the capital of Australia but the prime minister only spends a few minutes here every year, dont bomb us! Bomb Sydney!!
My Husband and i both sat bolt up right in bed and i just murmured "Oh my God"
Holger then turns around to me and says "Wow! i havnt heard anything like that since Germany!" - Now hang on a minute, Holger left Germany age 11 and he is WAY too young to have experienced World War 2,
Me: "what?!"
Holger: "Must be quite a storm!"
Me: "Storm?? What ?? You mean Bomb??"
Holger: ~laughing~ "That was thunder!"
Me: " F*** !! I thought we were all going to die!"
Then the rain started...
With my heart beating like a cartoon character i slowly drifted off to sleep still wondering A. if i would wake up in the morning or not and B. How Jaiden DID NOT wake up at all!?

We apparently had a major thunderstorm here last night but I slept right through it.
Katie, Are thunderstorms rare down there?
We get some great big booms are here, the Midwest is famous for thunderstorms...and they still scary me to death!
How did Jaiden sleep through that?
Who knows!!

LOL Glad "they" didn't bomb Australia (I don't think the U.S. has you on our list this week, although we are a bit bomb-happy for my tastes).
Thunderstorms frighten me...and I love every second of them when there isn't fire involved.
Lol, I never imagined Australia as being a war zone until now. However, watch out for Pres. Bush, when he sets his idiotic mind to something you never know what will happen.
XOXO

Im not to worried about Bush hurting Australia at this point - unless he has a love tiff with Howard... LOL
Yeah Heather, we get thunderstorms a fair bit and occasionally rain to go with it but i have NEVER heard a thunderclap like this!
Hey - don't be so quick to send the bombs to Sydney - what do we have Tasmania for??
