Are they showing Australia's wild weather at the moment ?

over a foot of rain in feb, 2-1/2 inches in March so-far, and 3 dry days predicted.

Flooding everywhere, because the land isn't designed to see same.

Cotter Dam (google or youtube) wasn't to be finished for another couple of months, and has become it's own spillway.

Bathurst, the river is usually 20'+ below the bridge into the town, now the bridge is closed due to flooding.
 
What just hit Australia has crossed the Tasman and the low is deepening rapidly - being called a weather bomb and will cross over tonight and tomorrow. The rain has just started - and my daughter has just left Auckland to come down tonight...but the worst will be in the early hours. Lucky the river is low. I'll put a bucket under the roof leak before I go to bed.
 
One hour ago we had 10 minutes of dime size hail, but nothing larger. Here in the heartland large distructive storms are very common. I'm keepin my generator close by. Never know when I will need it anymore.

Seriously, you guys that live in Tennessee and especially Kentucky, this is a deadly situation. Prepare now as tornadic supercell thunderstorms are forming rapidly west of your areas.

The storms in eastern Tennessee are kind of the pre show; the main threat is back to your west. A line of discrete tornado producing storms is forming along the cold front of this storm system.

Look Now! In your area, you're looking at 3 hours or so before they come through.
 
BITOG members who live in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Ohio, Georgia, if you get a tornado warning, take it seriously. If you get a warning, get to your basement and grab all the blankets in your house and pack them around your body and around family members bodies. seriously

This outbreak is as bad or worse than the 2 outbreaks last year and may rival the 1974 super outbreak.

Here in Spring Hill TN (30mi S of Nashville) so far so clear BUT today's weather is something like I've never seen.

30-50mph winds.
81F, March 2nd (or Feb 31st--see the Photo Section forum)
The winds are howling and getting dark, much hail reported north on the W side of Nashville just now.

TORCON is an scaringly accurate metric. Today for us is 9/10. Up in KY, 10/10.
 
Things got a bit tense this afternoon in central Indiana, but luckily we were spared any tornadic storms. Sadly not the case for the southern part of the state where I believe 7 are already confirmed dead. Henryville, a small town of about 2,000 just north of Louisville KY, got hit hard.

I knew it was going to be a wicked day when they put us in the PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) condition.
 
Hope everybody is safe. Been watching reports of the activity so far and some of it has been pretty bad. Pay attention to the warnings and stay in shelter if it is even close. GOOD LUCK.
 
We were quite fortunate/blessed/lucky as the storms lost strength at sunset so no severe stuff here. South of us & north of us were not so lucky.
 
no damage here. It got close to 80 degrees, dark/gloomy, but nothing touched down here. Thank God we were spared.
