was looking forward to hitting some deep puddles again, but alas the weather isn't that bad... disappointing really

Hail is forcast for tomorrow!

Supposed to be a bit later on I think. Thats what they are saying down here anyway.

Been bucketing down in Dunsborough since about 2am. The tin roof here makes it sound worse than it is, but I probably got up three times in the night to see whether there was any hail around. My car is under cover but it's a very high roof and it won't stop hail coming in on an angle.

The forecast I've seen says 'small hail', so here's hoping it's really really small, and not small as in 'hey, golf balls are pretty small...'

time to strap the spare doona to the roof

was convinced to stay in tonight instead of heading out to UWA and face the wrath of Perth's storm... only to find out that it's projected at a later time.

Judging by the inaccuracies of the news, etc i guarantee you gentleman that this so-called 'BIG storm' will be nothing but a chance to lightly water your lawns.

*disclaimer : level of rain/winds/hail varies among suburbs. so whilst may be light in my neck of the woods it may be severe in others.

Storm is heading south-east. Heavier stuff is well south of Perth.

I like the bad weather... it gives me more reason to laugh at V8 drivers as they sit spinning their wheels at the lights.

I can see the amount of wanted ads for panels, bonnets, bumpers, lights etc has sharply risen lately with the weather...
