Lovely petrichor.
Shame I got soaked a few minutes later.
14mm in 20 mins in Melbourne. That’s a bit.
Victoria St in Carlton (where I work) is literally a river all the way across.
RAAAAAAAIN
Collins and Elizabeth a river too
Seems to have stopped now. Well I’m heading east anyway

Well that was short and sharp. In our particular leafy eastern suburb it came and went within about 20 minutes. I doubt that we got even 5 mm, although for a minute or two it was down to zero visibility.
It’s like people have never seen rain before.
Mind you, vision was severely limited outside our windows for some minutes.
niiiiiice.

Fire alarm just gone off. Water through the roof somewhere, I’d guess!
Good excuse to go home.
You set it off, … didn’t you? 
Well la de da

Not quite, bits of Antarctica haven’t had rain for 2M years.
imagine how many wanker politicians wander round there in akubras??
It’s like people have never heard a fire alarm go off or seen water come through the roof before.

Thought it was going to miss us altogether for a while today, … but holy shitballs, she’s coming down now.
