we got 37mm all up this morning and a little cell is about to get here any second.

I DON'T CARE HOW NICE THE HAND SOAP SMELLS.....

Just had 32mm dumped on us in the last 1 1/2 hrs. 3 dams overflowing. Heap of flooding in Traralgon, poor buggers. Don't think they've recovered from the last flood.

Gee Armidale got flogged, not sure if we got anyone here from that area.


Shaken Armidale residents are in clean-up mode after a tornado ripped through town late on Thursday night, flipping a car, knocking down power poles, and tearing roofs of homes.

People were trapped in their homes as the tornado hit the northern NSW community around 11pm, with extensive damage believed to have occurred throughout the region, causing widespread power outages.

imagine the insurance paperwork on the sagging shade cloth

how did your car suffer 15,000 of damage...
Shade cloth hit it

It is, but while the warning area was that big, the only actual storm was the red patch & arrow, so nowhere near as bad as threatened.
