    It is freaky that your weather is really up shit creek.

    Hearing that much flooding over your way makes me think " Yes, the world is tilting on it's axis. "...

    Sounds exactly like Indiana weather. You never know during spring break in March whether there will be a blizzard or 85 degrees. It was in the low 20's last week and it's going up to 51 today and sunny :D
    It will probably drop again next week to negative digits :cry:

    The shit thing about this weather, it's causing these tiny baby cockroaches to invade the bathroom.
    Now that we sprayed the bathroom to keep them away they are crawling onto my desk in my room.

    The rain was like that a few weeks ago when the first, less severe storm hit us.
    I was at work and could not see 5 meters.
    We all shit ourselves at work, fire alarm going off, ceiling collapsing upstairs, whole place flooding, lights out, lightning striking close by, loud explosions of thunder.

    Thought you being a North Queenslander would be used to this weather.
    In Melbourne we've had unusually high humidity this summer resulting in these storms.

    I don't think anyone would ever get used to weather like that! We get pretty bad weather when cyclones are around....but it doesn't often rain as hard as that.

    Hey Ziggy. was wondering how you were fairing with all the rain???



    We had a megastorm come through our way at easter 5years ago, and it only came through a strip/corridor of our suburb. It has been called the Narangba Cyclone by everyone who experienced it. And I happen to live in the gully it went through. It was a strip about 500m wide. We were all outside with family, and I heard this really bizarre sound. All I could liken it to, was an air raid in those old war movies. My dad's just yelling orders at everyone to cover the cars that we couldn't get into sheds etc, because growing up in northern nsw he knew exactly what was coming, and within about 3 mins flat we had hail the size of cricket balls smashing everything. What was worse was that they were jagged and shredded as well as smashed. My brothers car was absolutely anhilated, neighbours lost roofs, people on the other side of the gully copped it worse, they had trees smash through brand new cars. We couldn't hear each other yelling it was so loud, and my son who was only 6 weeks old slept through the whole thing!!!!
