What kind of weather is this?

The Advertiser: King-hit: town's night of terror :

"'It's certainly like nothing seen before in South Australia,' she said.

'There are a lot of people, especially elderly, affected by this and it's very frightening for them.

'We are assessing any emergency relief needed but this is a resilient community and will quickly be back on its feet.'"

People keep saying the world over - this has never happened before. We have never had this type of weather before. Cyclonic activity is one of the things on the increase. Karoonda is a tough town. It's tough living there without cyclone activity. One old lady saved her own life by listening to her inner voice. Hers was the hardest hit house. We've had the driest dries, the wettest wets, the lightning hits when it never did before. Old people are frightened out of their homes and wits. Karoonda can't plant because it has to clean up. The State Govt is there and helping out...but like other countries, we are living on the edge all the time all of a sudden with the weather. WHY? You try and manage, rationlise it and get over it... then there's another lot of weather and that lightning on Friday, we have all been talking about it....it wasn't normal. It was weirdo flashing. These days the weather is always extreme and the rain rains from north to south instead of east to west. It changed direction last year. We are always in a state of emergency with the weather. WHY? Have we watched too many scary movies? Has the sunspot/sundimming/sun whatever/global warming gone up the creek totally?
