#Thunderstorms

2 posts2 participants1 post today

EVERY WINTER PRECIPITATION (AND HAIL!):

The past several days have been a smorgasbord of #winter #precipitation falling across the #Northland. That included #snow, #sleet, and #freezingrain.

There was even #hail with a couple #thunderstorms Friday afternoon, including the first #severe thunderstorm warnings for 2025!

#Snowfall is still occurring in some parts this afternoon. That will move out by tonight.

Looks like we're one bridge away from being cut off from town for a couple of days..

We'll be fine.

The SES have stated that the following areas may be impacted by dangerous floodwaters:

- The car park adjacent to the Gordon Edgell Bridge may experience inundation
- Freemantle Road may close at Freemantle Bridge
- Ophir Road may close at Dunkeld
- Cousins Park on Bridge Street may be inundated by floodwater
- Jubilee Park on Ophir Road may become inundated
- Eleven Mile Drive typically may due to local flooding along Saltram Creek.
- Low-lying area along the Macquarie River may be impacted by floodwater.

[🌧️ advice welcomed, please 🌧️]

So, the back of the yard is flooded.

My house is totally dry and fine.

It's about 5 to 6 inches deep in some spots. I'm going to have to go out and get a better look tomorrow.

I think I'll have to do something (?fuck knows what) about the standing water because of the risk of mosquitoes breeding in it.

(also, all this water fell in about 2 hours)

(also also, all the doors and windows are closed at the moment. I have the fan and the air conditioner on.. AND I CAN HEAR THE FRONGS OVER THE TOP OF IT, THAT'S HOW LOUD THEY ARE 😆🐸)
