Tonights "storm"

[21knights]

It got real bad for us here late last night. It ripped the roof off the pergola. Also some of the roads and playgrounds and stuff nearby are flooded and a few trees down around the area.

The only storm we need to worry about is this Saturday night.

Here's a preview:

Well at my place in Kangarilla there are trees that have been uprooted!! there wasn't much rain but Boy did that Wind Blow!

Couple of mates went down the beach. King tide hit. Said the water was seriously high. Birkenhead was/is under water, they went down grange jetty and they said the waves were crashing over the jetty. Sounded pretty crazy

Intelligent mates

Yeah heardthe Birk was getting sandbagged because they were expecting it.

Imagine if those kids off granite island stayed out longer.

what a crock of shit.

Has anyone recieved any decent amount of rainfall? We have barely had anything where I am, down south.

I hate it when they make all these big claims all day about bunkering down, sure it has been a bit windy, hardly the reported 120kmph.

Have we just avoided it here, or is there nothing out there?

I bet you feel a bit silly now

Yer it is not a storm as such as we all know it ie individual thunderstorm, it is a low pressure system to the south with a tight pressure gradient and strong winds over a LARGE area. Those 120km/hr wind gusts occured with this system at Cape Willoughby, tho they were not expected in Adel, just upper end possibilities for more exposed locations. It was quite a fast moving system so rain isnt huge but the actual progs of total rain are not just from yesterday but more an accumulation over a few days. Tho some areas of adelaide got a dry slot, that is just how things go.

All the warnings and forecasts were justified and pretty much spot on.

Still a lot of damage beach wise at least anyways, probably the most in Adelaide since May 1994 when the jetties copped a similar belting.

No, not really, we didnt get that much wind here. It is normally fairly windy here on its day and i didnt notice anything out of the ordinary here.

hence why I asked the question if it is affecting anyone else.
