Storm of 22-03-2010

Storm Frankie
thats what they call it :P

Anyway
just in case you find my post boring
here are some other interesting ones ==



I'm gonna put in my side of the story.
so please don't expect fancy pictures :(



Ok
The day started off with my sister wanting bubble tea
so Shevon and I specially went to the city to get her bubble tea
such a troublesome sister, no?


On the bus trip to Murdoch Train Station
the weather was great
sun is high
just a bit of clouds

But this changed after we board the train to Perth City.
across the Swan River, towards the right. (facing Swan River)
we saw huge, dark clouds gathering over the city.

"Just another storm, I love such weathers", I said, "Never went through a natural disaster, wanna get into one"

Bad mistake.
While waiting for the traffic lights to go red, at Northbridge
we looked up and saw dark clouds, moving so fast, its almost as if someone recorded it and played it on "fast forward".

then halfway across the road, it started raining.
huge amount of rainfall, no big deal at first
but right after we reached the entrance of Subway (Northbridge Branch)
its started hailing.

Photobucket

There was so much
more than those I saw last year.

Had a few intervals of small hail and huge hails.
we stood there, outside Subway, where the owner of the shop are kind enough to lock the doors.
it was so cold, we thought
"Might as well run all the way to Utopia, then we can dry ourselves in the toilet"

So thats what we did.
we were like, so as the Chinese saying, Chickens in soup.
After we dried up in Utopia and bought our bubble teas,
the rain stopped.

So we walked all the way to....
the Myer building at the city.
played a few rounds of those grabbing toys thingys
Why? read the previous post.

After that
we saw this

If you were to watch this video
that picture above would be the "Super cell 2" equivalent



And true enough
It started raining heavily by the time we got into Perth Station.
The whole station was flooded with people
mostly those who are going to the Northern side of perth.
The train going back to Mandurah is still on time.

Photobucket
It was about 5pm
and you already cant see whats outside


The whole train trip back was rather slow
guess they didnt wanna move too fast in the rain.
Got to Murdoch safely and took bus 206 back to Shevon's house.

We were lucky in two ways

One, my sister told me Murdoch train station was flooded, probably after we left.
Two, by the time we reached Canning Vale, the rain has stopped.

Later in the evening
I spent a while at Shevon's, before her mum drove me back home.
Power outage is everywhere.
The street lights where out
only thing you see is headlights.

My house, typically, was full of candles.
Mum complained to me how much water leaked in and stuff.

Everything was fine.
Then at 12.15am
My sister's annoying voice called out to me after a loud BOOM
I was, obviously, asleep
but still have to wake up.


The sound came from the guest room
The ceiling was all bend downwards,
almost as if there was a blackhole sucking everything into the center
Then my parents came, took a look
go "OMG"
and yeah.

Photobucket
you probably cant see anything

One side fell down
followed by another.
leaving the wiring of the light bulb hanging there

The kitchen had a bit of swelling, but we didnt dare to touch
mum said shes gonna buy some insurance first.
:S

this is in the morning
Photobucket


So well
School was alright
came back after school to help clear other damages.

Photobucket
this is gone.
we cant even rebuild it.

Photobucket

the metal parts are all bent
lifes good.
yea.
it sure is.

ohh
and a little bonus



Enjoy
