STRIKE ONE: Young local photographer Genevieve Crockett captured this lightning in action from Balgownie Drive on Saturday, October 31. A big day locally, elections, storms and Halloween. More inside.
Storms strike on Halloween Driving rain, howling wind and a stunning show of mother nature’s might with lightning and thunder added a whole new element to Halloween in Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze this year. October 31, 2020, was always going to be different. Uncertainty about what could and could not be done on the trick and treat front in the times of Covid restrictions, combined with the onceevery-four-year State Election and the ever popular Halloween falling on a Saturday for a change had created plenty of interest in the day.
To top that off, the storms rolled in late in the afternoon and into the early evening, sending tribes of trick of treaters scurrying for cover as the rain pelted down and the wind whipped. For the early birds, there was still a bit of time to check out the spooky house decorating and grab a lolly or two (more pictures inside) before the rain sent everyone home. The storm knocked out power for some for a brief period and the wind and rain combined to tumble trees and drop branches leaving November 1 as a clean up day for many of our residents. Another 2020 memory!
