tonight's tempest and typhoon
Mar. 8th, 2008 01:16 amIt was a little scary.
My part of Sydney had 51mm (2 inches), 46mm of that in less than an hour. Highest total in the met area according to bom's map. The rain was more than torrential, maybe the heaviest I've ever seen, and it was steady like that for around 15 minutes or more. The back stairs was a waterfall, the amount of water pouring off the roof and over the gutter was amazing. We had to close every window and even the doors, the wind was swirling. Tried to look out the front, but could only see when the lightening flashed, and the rain was horizontal.
Bloody amazing.
