The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

The radar would suggest that the majority of the rain has passed Perth (?). It was rough but we can move forward now.

The hills out Armadale way have barely gotten any wind, just some constant rain since about 11am/midday. The storm from two weeks or so back was far worse up here than this has been so far.

The next severe weather warning is in half an hour, so let's see what that say has happened.

 

[Plugger35]

Storm in a teacup, would barely even call it a storm let alone a once in a decade storm, it's mostly just been a lot of rain with the occasional gust of wind.

 

[JackOutback]

Famous last words.

Expect it to get worse tonight.

Bah, my house is made out of solid straw.

 

[The Speaker]

Unless that system's looping back around tonight, it will have been the most insipid 'wild storm' in a long time.

 

[ioppolo]

Looks like my old stomping ground got hit hard. More than half of Thornlie's power is out, and trees have gone down everywhere.

 

[JackOutback]

Aside from a bit of wind, it’s been a damp squib.

Gotta love a media storm in a teacup.

6006 checking in - absolutely nothing to report apart from a rocking fence and even that couldn’t find the energy to topple over

think the Midwest/Gascoyne/Pilbara copped a bit
Hopefully the wheatbelt got some rain and not just the dust storm

Looks like a handful of areas have been hit hard mainly with power outages, but gees where i am I've hardly noticed it. That storm a few weeks ago was way worse.

Didn’t really even see that much rain tbh

A leaf just blew into my pool

 

[Smeg Head]

It was still a rare event because of the confluence of the two elements meaning it hit along such a large swathe of the coast at once.

+1 for the storm a couple of weeks ago being worse. Didnt even hear a clap of thunder or lightning today.

Why do i feel like the media get their rocks off telling people to stay indoors whenever they can this year?

The media have spent the past three months telling people to be afraid, why not add one more to the pile?

What a total non-event this was.

Jinxed myself lol. Lost power, hardly slept all night from the noise, nearly blown over when i stepped outside. Currently sitting on a train waiting at Freo station, which feels more like a boat docked out in rough seas with the way it's swaying side to side from the wind.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

We got power back about 12:30am. Lost part of our back fence. Definitely got hit more than the last storm. And given the last time we lost a part of fence was in the storm a decade ago, this media was right in my world.

People complain because they got lucky and no damage in their house/suburb. It’s backwards.

No, we complain because we were told over and over to be frightened of something that did not deserve the kind of panic we were being told to give it. Media irresponsibility strikes again.
