Dragged mu ass outta bed this morning to find melbourne bloody flooded in the start of feb.Walked out the back yard and its flooded and so is the shed.So now i gotta fire the pump up and drain it.Well there goes just getting straight into working on me beam.
seems the east coast is having its usual charming summer weather:cussing
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
someone said it snowed in the snowy mountains.... shit hey... i love it
you reckon this has been a strung out weird farkin summer up here in brissy starbuggy?? ive been cold at nights and havnt spent too much time at the beach cos it gets too cold too! last summer my skin was permently wrinkled from bein in the waterfalls and ocean every weekend...
Bummer Kustom kool,
we had a thunderstorm yestareday that included golf ball sized hail, there was so much water the dogs were soaked and it started flooding down the drive way and seeping under the garage door. The back yard had 2 inches of water sitting in it. it's all drained away now, but guess what, the big back lawn I only mowed yesterday looks like it grew an inch over night.
:cussing
well i think we can expect more of it. With global warming (either natural or man made) this sort of thing will become more common. had a look at my IFD curves for melbourne, that was a very serious bit of rainfall. 160mm in 24 hrs is an average of 6.66mm hr. which is pretty intense rainfall for a sustained 24 hr period, its normally what would get for a 2 or 3 hr event!!
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

supposedly we are going to be having those freaky storms in february, wonder if they are going to be as hardcore as last years ones.
makes me glad that my bug is off the road for a while with those forecasts 😀

hhhmmmmm... Sounds Lovely...
I'm thinking about putting the A/C on here, as it's about 34 degrees outside..
You boys b'sure 'n' enjoy that rain over there now won't you...
<thinks to self, Might be a nice night to put the roof down on the Baja and go for a drive later on>:thumb
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
lucky you put that extra plastic on to cover your motor KK, wind was mad here last night. rain made it about 5 feet into the back door, tree on the nature strip is down, helped a guy drag a tree off the freeway entry this morning.
don't tease them baja...they may all want to move over here :P

THink of it this way, We are one downpour closer to being able to wash our cars at home with a hose.....Try being on the road all day. I am absolutelly stuffed now, and the amount of accidents I have seen today, well, thats a different story.

Just seen a woman on the news talking about her horse nearly drowning. Luckily she saved it but they showed a picture of her car, an early Fasty with water up to the top of the doors!! Bummer, shudda let the horse drown I say!!
sorry dame, just checked your motor. looks like were up for a draining session:cry
part of our backyard was flooded..mostly gone down now.. the shelter I had over my bug was totally ripped to pieces (metal poles bent too!) it collapsed on her but luckily there's no damage...apart from fact her heater channels are full of water :S (water pouring out heater vents is not nice)
Just lovely typical Melbourne weather 🙂

hahahaha...
I pulled up behind a Hyundai at the lights tonight, it had Victorian rego plates and along the bottom under the numbers/letters it had the caption,
"VICTORIA THE PLACE TO BE"
So I put my 2 bobs worth in and yelled out to the driver, "If Victoria's the place to be, Why don't you #*%+^! Piss off back there"...??!!!!
Funny thing is, he wouldn't answer and just looked the other way at the next lights... Go figure...
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
VICTORIA IS THE PLACE TO BE even VW saw this thats why we had the factory.And of course the sweetest resto cals in the land.
Yes Victoria is THE place to be ..... where else can you have so much rain that all the exits from your suburb are closed due to flooding and you can't go to work ????? DAMN shame I had to stay home yesterday !!!!
Sorry about your shed. I saw a guy in Altona trying to bucket water out of his underground garage and away from his new Merc, the brown muddy water was lapping against the wheel arches, I would have been mighty nervous if it was me !!!!
