storm

[QUOTE=el_draco;1372928]Utas has been smashed up pretty bad and parts of The Royal Hobart hospital are being evacuated.

I was at there Thursday night, just got my car out of the car park and around the corner as the rivulet started to overflow. I have never seen anything like it- the noise was horrific. On the way home it was like being underwater. The roads were filled with debris and storm drains were fountains.
My Wife was in tears as I got home as there was water torrents coming down the drive and through the front door and more coming through the roof.
What stopped major damage was that the force of the water peeled the surface off my drive (gravel) and deposited it at the front door making a natural dam. Crazy weather.
