The Bureau is warning the bad stuff is inbound.
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce very heavy rainfall, flash flooding and large hailstones over the next several hours in the Southern Tablelands, South West Slopes, Snowy Mountains, Australian Capital Territory and parts of the Riverina districts. Locations which may be affected include Canberra, Goulburn, Cooma, Yass, Wagga Wagga and Tumbarumba.
If you get good photos send them in to images@the-riotact.com .
Oh good, just what you need before everyone hits the roads…
Slow down, Canberra.
That system seems to have been basically circling Canberra for the last few hours. Should make the ride home interesting. Can I plot a path in between the spots of red on the radar?

Unless you’re wearing a fluoro shirt and driving a ute. In which case, tail gate as close as you possibly can at high speed. Swerve between lanes and change tail gating targets as you pressure those suckers that do the speed limit to go faster and possibly be forced to tail gate the car in front of them.
Don’t forget to flip off people as well.
I reckon it will miss us. Cooma is getting nailed though if you look at the radar at 3:19pm
There goes another $250,000!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

To be fair, I think you would find that just as many tailgaters fall into the ‘self-entitled executive’ stereotype.
They can usually be spotted driving a black Lexus or Beemer about half a foot away from your car’s anus.
Dilandach said :
And if you’re riding a bike go straight through the red lights, avoid bike paths and ride on the road wherever possible.

Also be sure to tear across pedestrian crossings.
Jethro said :
Very true.
Let’s see some more nice pics of bolts if possible!
Deref said :
Awesome! We’ve evolved (regressed?) back into cyclists vs cars! It’s been a day or two since this was ‘discussed’ in a thread….!
dpm said :
It’s the Riot Act Law. Every thread no matter what it’s about will eventually become a motorist v cyclist debate.
I am so glad I got the warning, almost missed the two drops that fell in Macgregor if I hadn’t been outside anticipating it all. Maybe tomorrow we’ll not have to water the garden….

+1 and LOL
Deckard said :
Debate?
Aeek said :
There is no debate on that one – it is absolutely true! LOL
Storms, Cyclists vs Cars….we just need some popcorn.
If someone mentions cars vs cyclists then they lose the thread and the conversation is over: Bimbogeek’s Lemma of Godwin’s Law in action.

I got 24 mm and it made a monster mess. However, the storms formed and collapsed with amazing speed. I’m still a bit amazed by it all.

Of course there is a debate, a mass debate

You forgot the Mazda 3′s and 6′s. They seem to be the moron drivers car of the year for 2011.
