You wouldn't believe it.

Crazy things afoot in town.... The last 24 hours in Carnarvon have brought about shootings, brawls, a fatal stabbing and wild rain storms.
A big funeral was on and members of families with long running feuds were both there...fights led to what will now be more funerals http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/02/06/3131122.htm This happened about two streets back from mom's house.
The hospital was 'locked down' this morning, as they were treating some of the injured also involved in this and other violent outbreaks around town... No one could go in to the hospital to see a doctor as they were scared more fighting would happen inside the hospital if the two sides of the angry families got inside... I know because I was at work and the patients were coming to me to ask if there was anything I could do for them as they had been refused help at the hospital.
The temperature soared over 38C/100F and the humidity was awful... and then came the thunder, lightning and rain.  A down pour of three quarters of an inch of rain in half an hour and big claps of thunder... then become angry rolling thunder that went on for hours...
It's been a strange day to say the least........
