Our water came from the roof down the window frame rather than from the ground outside.
The first storm hit around 1:30 pm the next around 3pm.
The first was a furious thunderstorm with high winds,
the second a major dust storm.
There was lots of local flooding and a large amount of trees
were knocked down bringing power lines down including on buildings and cars.
Power was out in much of Alice Springs for 12 hours or so.
It was after midnight when we had power again where I was staying
and as I walked to work this morning there was still streets with powerlines still hanging dangerously low and so the streets remain blocked off.
