Massive thunderstorms have hit down my way. Lightning, thunder. Real tropical. 45mm in the last hour. The roof on our outdoor undercover area didn't hold up. Gutters overflowing. Water flowing everywhere. Covered the wall mounted TV, just in time.

Was planning on cooking some steaks onthe BBQ tonight too.

Flash flooding everywhere round town. Rain still steady but looks like the heavy falls have past us.

Yeah all good, thanks.

No damage, just a bit of water in the outdoor area. Rain has slowed now. The drains couldn't handle the volume. We're on high ground, the neighbour though had aa lake as a backyard. He was sweeping the water from his back door.

Good to hear mate.

Doubt your neighbour needs to fill his pool then........

One of the best laconic quotes ever

 

[Val Keating]

Phillip was the father of Alexander the Great fwiw and a decent argument can be made that even though he didn’t conquer as much as Alexander he was an excellent general.

Laconic meaning: Concise to the point of being rude, I'm sure others, as well as myself, could be a bit more wordy at times.

We've had rain like that twice today. Its happening a bit this year, must be a proper wet year coming. Maybe the drought will break. If its wet up here youse should get more rain too.

When Cyclone Debbie hit we had about 400-450mm between 4 and 7 in the morning and another 200-250 in the next 15 hours. That was ****ed. The water was overflowing the gutters and backing up on the roof, eventually it found its way in and hasn't been the same since in places.

Yeah its weird, we had a months rain in 1 hour. If you just rocked up here on holidays you would have thought we were in tropical Queensland, not the coast of Victoria.

I'm enjoying the tropical hotspot of Hobart at the moment.

Spartans were weirdos though. Pretty much the Taliban these days.

Very strange, but that’s from over 2400 years ago.
