With you jinxing it, it will probably rain for 9 days in a row now.
Glad the aussie guys are safe. It could've turned nasty if you were stuck outside.

yeah but on the plus side now we have some water to drink In fact, according to the most reliable source in the world, The Courier Mail, we've got more water than we've had since 91.

That is some crazy looking shit. Melbournions are always giving us tassie peoples shit for having bad weather. Between the 40 degree heat waves and the house wrecking hailstorms, i'm wondering what's so bad about tassie

yeah your pretty much always cold down in tassie except when we have the Lan. we have had good weather for that 2 years in a row now
yeah i heard that qld has the most water ever in your storage, i think we got about 500million megalitres or something from that storm on sat which put our dams up to a whopping 35%!
the storm had had about a 400km spread or something, from bendigo down to the south east suburbs, wasnt all that wide though. it was crazy

Lol, that's alright I remember a hail storm that fucked brisbane royally in the asshole to the point where it kinda looked like it'd been snowing... and in typical SEQ style missed the catchment area completely!

Hey, Tas can have its heat waves too. I'm not saying we're not a cold state (that's one of the things I love about it) but it's frickin insufferable at times -_-
