The Perth Thread

The great Perth storm of 2015 is in town!

 

[bkozican]

Just went for a drive to maccas to get a sundae and damm the skies put on a show. Lightening every 2 seconds...great stuff. The only downfall...looks like I will be eating my sundae in the dark

annnnnd it's gone

Just got to watch some super impressive lightning from the backyard.

 

[kfc1]

That was some awesome thunder and lightning

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'm not sure what was better the storm, or my friend's meltdown.

Mother nature wasn't happy with the Royal's bbq at Cottesloe

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Was a great show.

 

[Righteo]

Disappointingly brief and hardly any rain either Good fun while it lasted though, poor cat has done a disappearing trick.

Absolutely pissed down for at least 20min in Freo, that would've given the Royals a good soaking

I just drove home from Jurien Bay and watched it all the way. Was still flashing after I got home.

Has anyone been able to figure out what happened here?

That'd be their first bath for quite some time, I believe.

I think a woman was killed by her own car in a bizarre shopping centre crash.

Yes, that is the correct answer but I'd like to see your working out, please, IN.
And if you wouldn't mind, could you please provide a diagram of each stage of your working out? Extra marks will be given for each correct diagram.

Reading that, they would have been going up the section to North Lake Road, which is a pretty tight fit at times. Bizzare. Was there about an hour after that happened as well

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah I don't get it. You can't turn onto Nth Lake Road from the shopping centre...

My head hurts trying to understand that

You can from the Shell there

 

[Beerfish]

You can from the Shell there

Ahh okay. I get it now.

 

[Teriyakicat]

There are two exits turning south into Nth Lake Rd. One is from the Shell service station, as kane249 said- at which you can also cross Nth Lake Rd and turn northward onto it (I think) - and the other is a slip lane closer to South St. The second exit is usually a lot busier from what I've seen.

There's a good distance between the two exits- like too much distance for him to have travelled from the exit near south street along the footpath and managed to hit a car at the petrol station plus the lady, so he must've exited from the petrol station but goodness knows how he's squeezed in next to the bollard, travelled along the footpath, managed to end up back in the petrol station somehow, hit the other car then got the lady (I'm assuming she is his wife but perhaps just a friend).

It's like he's managed to do a reverse dive with 2 ½ somersaults and 2 ½ twists in pike
Degree of difficulty: 3.8.
