I'm in windy Geraldton and the rain and the wind has and still is unbelievable. My sister lives on a hill with direct ocean views and the full brunt of Mother Nature is being felt - it's amazing but thank goodness I'm not having to drive in it - so much water lying everywhere

I used to live on the high side of Bayview Street. Views were amazing.

She is out at Wandina - amazing views

Can't imagine what it's like at the bottom on the highway atm as the rain has been non stop for two days now and the water is just following down the hills

Think that was just scrub when I was there circa 1985.

The drug epidemic is far worse among young people than I realised. Every new person we recruit between 18-20 regularly does some heavy drugs. Not even kidding, I'm struggling to think of one of the new younger recruits who isn't into that shit. It's beyond ridiculous.

Yes, but how about this rain?

Wandina was basically brand new when I lived in Gero in the late nineties.

Stats support your thoughts but the drug and alcohol sector has been hit hard with funding cuts and now that it's been combined with the mental health commission I can't see a turn around anytime soon. Apparently it's just easier to wait until laws are broken rather than trying to educate

 

[ioppolo]

Where do you work?

Bunnings.

 

[ioppolo]

But it's not just them, every kid coming out of high school I see is into it too.

 

[Plugger35]

It's hailing like nobodies business at the moment.

Glad I'm not out driving in this shit.

 

[ioppolo]

Only some grey clouds in my area atm. Where's this hail plugger?

 

[Beerfish]

Hailing here too. East freo.

What are they doing, ice?

 

[ioppolo]

The hail and thunder has just hit Thornlie

 

[The Speaker]

I hear thunder.

 

[ioppolo]

What are they doing, ice?

That, meth, pingaz, plus mixing in other shit to enhance effects.

 

[Beerfish]

****. I have to go out too.

 

[Scotland]

I just got 5 minutes of hail and now it's clear again.

 

[Scotland]

Looking at the radar it's pretty scattered.

Not really that much teal/yellow and above across the board.

Well that cloud hasn't passed over Willo then. Heard a peal of thunder or two, only a few drops coming down here right now.

I'm in Stirling, it's stopped now but there could be some more looking at the dark clouds and the fact that it's as cold as a witch's tit.

 

[Biggie]

Just started here. Near Carramar

 

[Beerfish]

Just got the first peal of thunder. Hail has stopped and just raining light but steady now.

Should change the thread title to The Perth Weather Thread.

 

[ioppolo]

Wonder how the wafl will go today

Speaking of that, does it shit anyone else that any time there is any sort of storm in Sydney its the headline news for days? GAGF I say, I don't give a rats arse about it.
