Wtf is happening near Sydney atm?!

Happy to call it a cyclone if you are. Plenty of wind, hammering rain, stormies all evening.

It's doing more than 2-3 inches an hour with 160+ kph winds, that's like Cat 2-3 cyclone lol.

It's even dumping hail and snow!

Certainly haven't had anything this bad in ages. Last nights storms were bad too.

Hhonestly doesn't look like stopping soon either.

Airport has been closed, all flights diverted to Melbourne/Brisbane. Plenty of flooding in and around Sydney, it's starting to come under my back door. Feel sorry for the poor SES out there tonight. Them and the NSW Fire & Rescue have their work cut out for them.

It's freaking crazy! The rain last night was the heaviest rain over ever seen (flooded the gutters in 40 seconds) and tonight has looked unreal too. Not as heavy but relentless over the last couple of hours.

Cooks River at Tempe has burst its banks. Apparently 60 people had to be rescued on a train near Kingsgrove. Airport/East Hills, South Coast and Bankstown train lines have all been closed due to flooding.

Yeezus... Hope you don't have uni tomorrow :lol:

Yep. That's going to be a fun commute. :lol: Might have to pull out the old speedos and swim to Uni. :lol:

This is apparently the M5 tunnel at the moment.

Summer Hill, near Leichhardt.


Bexley Road, just off the M5


Main Street of Lithgow (Blue Mountains)


Blackheath train station (Blue Mountains)


Sydney City 10pm

M5 Tunnel tonight

Weather farken. Get the game back

Somewhere under all this water, around 1.5m of water - is the East Hills Railway line.

I take that to Uni tomorrow morning. Oh Lawdy.

Be interesting to see how good Sydney's drainage is.

I personally wouldn't bother trying to go to Uni Heiny lol.

Such rain, many wet in Sydney this morning...

Crazy talk in Sydney last night. That photo that Heine posted of the two lightening strikes in the CBD is unreal!

Well, it's taken me 2 and a half hours, comparred to my normal 1.5 :lol:

Train went through Bardwell Park fine. Either the drainage is fucking ridiculously good, or they got pumps out during the night. The drainage on the rail lines is generally pretty fucking good.

However, this was Lewisham station during the night. :lol:



Apparently they've pumped out the water, but the OPAL readers aren't working due to being flooded.

And this is on the South Coast line I believe.


The Day After tomorrow: Sydney Style.

It's still extremely windy and there's still heavy showers about. Forecast is for more storms tonight, too.

More like Sydney was never developed to handle that kinda rainfall.

Drainage?

What drainage lol.

Tonight's storm fucked me up.

Quite possibly baking here in Sydney :D

The Malbourne weather was beautiful today.

It's hot

The sun is shining

its been humid

Got up to a hundred here today, and now theres a flash storm

Storms rolling through Sydney are packing a punch. Was at the bowlo trying to escape the heat with some refreshing schooners when the storm cell from Penrith rolled through.

Still humid as fuck though. Just sitting down and I'm sweating. Love it though. Nothing like sinking beers at the pub on a stinking hot day watching the storms roll in.

Gangajang couldn't have said it better when they sang:
"Out on the patio we'd sit,
And the humidity we'd breathe,
We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia."

Straya Caaaarrrrnt.
