    In New South Wales Australia they are having floods,
    my friend over there says that she is dry at the moment but expects the flood waters to be lapping at her door by the morning. the weather payterns seem to be all over the place at the moment no matter where you live world wide it is reaking havok. we have had so little rain i had to water my vegie patch in the middle of winter.

    And here in Iowa, we have had two years of the wettest weather. Floods are plentiful here as well.

    And, although, here in Oregon we've had a wet summer, the newspaper reported that the local reservoir was down to 1/3 of what it should be this time of year. Praying for a HARD snowy winter so we can get a snowpack and have water for farmers!!!

    We have a huge wild fire burning in Boulder, CO right now. Many homes have burned, hundreds of firefighters are on scene along with 9 airplanes dropping retardant. Hundreds of people have been evacuated. I don't know what is going on with the weather patterns either.

    We have had the hottest summer on record for southeastern Pennsylvania in USA. We had almost no rain the entire summer. They are starting to put water restrictions in place. Yards are ugly as only the weeds can grow with no water & trees are sheading their leaves early. We have having or 9th heat wave this week.

    My husband says we are getting ready for 2012. LOL But with the heat we have been having, and just not in Florida, I'm wondering if he's not as crazy as I think he is.

    Cool and rainy here all summer this year here. Last summer was beautiful. Guess we never have a perfect weather place 24/7 365 days anywhere. Besides what we would have to talk about? Oh ya "quilting"!

    and NZ is having huge after shocks and as we all know they can be more damaging than the quake itself as it just finishes of what it started to destroy.
    haveing a little rain at the moment it may save the farmers crops, the crops are so short thru lack of rain
