Well, it bucketed down for a bit

Calwell shoping center actulary flooded, it was so weird, and outside, there were cars that were like.. (i dont know how to explain this, dont mind me..) had water up to the bottom of their cars..it was just weird.

And heck, my computer’s blown up twice because of thunderstorms! i wanna see it happen again, lol!

and i totally agree, happy new year everyone.

Still hearing thunder and seeing lightning here down south. I’m just waiting for my comp to blow up!

Dark clouds and lots of rain.

Thumper, no flame from me. You’re 100 right.

To everyone: Have a Happy New Year!

Still no rain here…………….

I took photos of the hail if anybody can post them on my behalf…

in the canberra center.. bee drivin back from wagga and was like “is that a storm on the way” in the rear view.. but decided it was just the tint that made it look a bit odd.

anyway, waiting for some people who decided to print out 5 years worth of photos in one go, my gf says “hey whats that, is it rain”
it was awesome.

Extremely entertaining watching the various responses of people at major public building on the foreshore.
Guy on a scooter took off about five minutes before the downpour, arrived back TOTALLY soaked and spent about ten minutes wringing himself out in the loos, thought it was great fun.
Numerous (mostly members of the younger generation) walking into the foyer, and on seeing the rain muttering bareley intelligible expletives as they rang their mommies to come and pick them up.
Stoic older members of staff marching boldly into the breach with “I don’t care, I’m going NOW.”
And the hordes standing at the front doors waiting in hope for it all to be over before the building shut at five o’clock.
We got bucket loads and it was all swallowed instantly and gratefully into the grasslands and gardens.
How good would the party in Civic be on NYE if it bucketed like that (evil chuckle).

We were in the cinema at Manuka. Missed half the dialogue of the first 20 min of Casino Royale due to rain-then-hail noise, then 5 min later the whole cinema was evacuated due to flooding in the foyer. When we got out, many shops in Franklin St were sweeping / mopping water too. Lots of hail lying around.

Lots of wind here in Bonython, and even some rain.

Vegie garden is truly stuffed.

Damp is good! We got good rain but no hail in hackett. And it rained in Collector, Goulburn etc for once too.

Anyone got any good weather sites to suggest apart from bom?

It pissed down here in Narrabundah. Lots of leaves knocked off the trees and my tomato plants got almost flattened. Piles of hail everywhere like snowdrifts.We got 50 mm in our rain gauge. It flooded the roads here and in Fyshwick. Lots of debris on the roads today, and very damp.
