The Perth Thread

[Smeg Head]

Powers done a couple of up and down fades in the last hour with the wind down here in Willo.

Will be interesting to see what the turnout will be like today as they are normally a pretty loyal bunch

I'll be there but we'll probably get 30k at most I reckon. My mate can't go today and I can't give away his membership because of the weather.

I think it's supposed to get bad again this evening so I'll be surprised if they get 30k - maybe more tigers than dockers

Ooh my mate down in Mandurah just had a tree fall into her house! Careful out there peeps

Is it? I thought it was supposed to have calmed down by then.

Yeah the weather guy on the radio said most of the really bad weather should have moved through by the time the game starts.

Wind is astronomical here in the northern suburbs!

And how magnificent does Prevelly Beach look

Went to look at some cars about midday.

On South St between Karel Ave and Roe Hwy (I think) one of the big white gums in the median strip had been knocked clean over somehow. Two lanes losed each way while cops and blokes with chainsaws cleaned it up.

Was looking at a yard when a front suddenly came through and it absolutely dumped down. I jumped into the nearest car and sat there for a good 5-10 minutes (would've been the fastest setting on the windscreen wipers if the car was running) then it cleared and the sun came out. Hasn't rained since.

one of the many reasons council should avoid planting gum trees

Mine is asleep now but was pacing laps of the house this morning.

My house is nearly 50 years old so the odd door creaks and rattles with a strong breeze so he was up and about checking out each noise.

My brother is down there for a wedding and posted it on FB - he is very handy with the camera so he may have taken it but would need to verify that - could belong to someone else

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'm trying to work out whether it's worth going down to the game in these miserable conditions.


If Fteo aren't going to be a complete joke I'm not going.

What about if Richmond are going to be a complete joke?

 

[kane249]

I'm confused. Doesn't seem built up enough..

Intersects again out near Hazlemere

All the blocked up drains not being able to drain away

Looking forward to usual press release that none of the run off has hit the dams
