Have to say the car driver deep with no snorkel I could see was one very very lucky person [bigwhistle]

As lucky as the beemer submariner drivers, after a flash flood, immobile under the Dudley St bridge, who couldn't get out of their cars with central locking, electric windows and sunroofs without 'outside assistance' back in the day...............? [biggrin]

Got to love a sunburnt country [biggrin]

The Cattle King book was a 100+ year ago yarn about this amazing rivers in deserts Mr Kiddman- read it if you haven't "the cattle king Sidney Kidman"

Outback Queensland, NSW comes to life as riverine flooding arrives without rain - ABC News

14mm in the gauge this morning - some of it arrived horizontally.

Pretty much the same in Yass, 15mm cold and blowy

WOW!!! We are experiencing 40 km/hr + winds at the moment.

About 30 minutes ago, there was a loud bang and the house shook for a couple of seconds. At first I thought a large tree had come down on the house, but this was not the case, thankfully.
I'm now thinking it was some type of seismic occurrence.

I don't think it was an RAAF inspired event either. Much too severe.

OK, 'twas a 'quake. About 15 km NW of us, at a depth of 10 km, with magnitude of 3.

Strewth, I'd hate to be near a Mag. 7!!!!!!

I was on holidays in Christchurch in 2011,during the earthquake.

Not much fun and something that I will never forget.

It certainly scared the living daylights out of us.

Too right it did, Ian and I was home alone!............................................ ..... (you can make what you like from that.)[biggrin]

The relevant Dept. has now pinpointed the epicentre only 4.5 km away from us, in an ESE direction, on the Lake Samsonvale shoreline. No wonder it was noisy here.

I wonder if it woke 'The Antichrist' up?

Did it splash over Young's Crossing, tsunami style?
