hellies

watching it roll in,

My other half was kind enough to let me know that NOR is getting a nice amount of rain at the moment, just hope that it gets heavier as it goes south :D

Thanks to the weather today i flew to Cloudbreak, then Karratha, back to Perth and had to spend 4 hours of waiting in airports.

Another nite in Perth for me

Another pathetic attempt from the Perth sky's. A few bolts of lightning and that's it. Was very dark at 530 in Wanneroo but LOL at severe as the report says.

Fark not again, I've already got tiles coming off my roof from the last few storms!

Awesome considering we paid extra to make them secure due to living in a high wind area and the house is just over 18mths old! :( Grrrrr

why do they always release these drastically exaggerated reports, and always let us down?

remember march 22?

hardly a regular thing though
