That's good... I wonder what Bucko's up to though...
nice sunny day today. newcastle is still probably pretty soggy right now, and i'd be willing to bet bucko's computer has been drowned if the place was flooded... he's probably got a lot of things to worry about at the moment.
Damn people...
Thinking about Bucko.. I think we should...
Send a big pump.
Modded, of course.
Digital controls.
microATX mobo.
High-speed sensors.
32"+2x21" LCD "readout".
ProCharger centrifugal for the engine.
Web cams.
Satellite uplink.
Roomba platoon.
I've heard from Bucko, he will be away on a personal matter for a few days. Please lets just leave it at that and respect his privacy. I'm sure when he returns he will appreciate your concern :)
Alright, just so long as he hasn't been injured or anything by the flood, and also so long as he still has a PC, lol.
i hope his bikes are ok ....
An interestng fact that I heard recently that just came to mind regarding nuclear equipped ICBM's in Montana--If Montana were to secede from the USA, it would instantly become the third largest (in terms of warheads) nuclear-capable superpower in the world.Quote:

My best mate lost his car, which along with the flood waters meant he couldn't come and visit me or check my place for me.
I really thought the windows were going to blow in on the room I was staying in at one point, the wind was unbelievable.
There are still cars littered around the place that had to be abandoned and haven't been collected by tow trucks.
I haven't been to see the ship that washed up on the beach yet. I did see it from my Hospital window though.
It will still be there for a while, so I'll have to head down and check it out before I go back to work.
Well, glad to see you're back and in relatively good condition. It hasn't been the same without you here... Take some pictures of the ship and all that, it would be interesting to see...
For some reason I'm jealous, I guess I just like insane weather so long as there aren't any tornadoes or any other massive hazards to my life, like storm surges. It just looks cool to me...
Another shot of the ship on the beach:
Wow, that's gotta suck... at least it hasn't capsized or anything. Any idea on how they're gonna move it?
Its a coal ship so it has gaint coal compartments. At the moment they have filled the middle compartment with water to way the ship down so it doesn't roll. They are also moving the fuel oil off the ship and to higher compartments. Then they will empty the water and drag it off with two huge tugs.Quote:

Wow--hope you don't mind, but I had to save that pic. That's just insane.Quote:

Great picture!!!
They are forecasting another big storm tonight with winds up to 120km/h. So here's hoping they are wrong and it's not as bad as last time and we don't get flooding again.
Yeah 10m high waves. They are saying the ship might break up scary stuff. Thank god I am on university holidays as traffic is gonna be hell tomorrow apparently. Don't think I am gonna get out of bed tomorrow.
Oh man, that's gonna suck big time if another does hit. I hope to high heaven you don't get hit again. On the bright side, I believe that if you get over the nasty stuff now, the universe owes it to you for there to be good weather, just like me and going through a lot of crap recently, it now owes me some really happy times. My beliefs are more or less hoping and not so much religious based.
Well it's been rainly steadily and heavily for the past hour or so and the wind has been going up and down.
The news predicts it's going to be very bad, so much so that they are going commercial free for their first hour in the morning to cover what they expect to happen. Mostly it is going to hit Sydney and South of there. It's not supposed to be as bad at where I am North of Sydney, but we'll see what the night brings. It's just after 2am here and they reckon it will hit around 3am, which looking at the weather radar looks likely.
Wow... we're prolly gonna be getting our share of hurricanes here in NC too, not as bad as when they're in Florida, but I'm actually hoping for them. I love rough weather so long as it doesn't get life threatening with things such as tornadoes and storm surges. I loves me some rain, and winds too, but like I said, not life threatening and so long as the power doesn't go out so I can surf here and play PC games. ^_^
Note: Yes, I know I'm a bit odd.
Really? We hadn't noticed... :pQuote:

It didn't turn out as bad as expected its 11:30am now the storm was heavy in the early hours and from my window I can see the see is pretty big. There aren't any trees down though or anything like that. The media was full like account for everyone in your family stay away from the windows blah blah...
It ended up only being some heavy rain here. It's all calm and quiet now.
That's good to know, glad you didn't get steamrolled again, that would have been even more disastrous than the last storm. I still want some rain here though. Me loves rain.
Well they finally found someone to sort out the ship.
We had Horrible Lightning here so Bad last night. Was the worst I've ever seen!
It was a combination of both Lightning strikes, and The type that spreads out all over the sky.
Was so loud I though for sure it striking the house. My dog was glued to my leg. It was really freaking him out.
Was like that a few week ago to . .not near as bad, but it did split a tree off to the side of the house.
Lasted like 3 Hours non-stop.
Ah! My eyes! :lick:Quote:

thank good we had no hail, a few days ago it hailed a few kilometers from here the ice was the size of golf balls
That could've been a tornado. :think:Quote:

It started raining, got heavier, then it got super-heavy. All of a sudden, the wind started whipping around the raindrops in all sorts of directions, and a trashcan from around the building came flying down the other side of the building, where I was, and almost hit a Camaro.
P.S. Also, a cigarette bin tipped over and cigarettes spewed forth all over a freshly swept section of the shop. (I work at a car dealership.) I swept them all into the sewer drain. :D
a Dammned tornado tore through here yesterday evening. .and took a bunch of trees out, a Few in my yard. . So now I gotta go buy a chainsaw and cut it all up, and Rent a horse to pull it all out of the yard. lol
I figure I'll just tie the limbs to the back of the car and pull them outta here.
Sucks though. . really ruined my weekend.
Wow thats crazy those trees are huge ! Ny hardly gets any huge storms and if its a tornado its far away from me.
Eclecticos, you should be happy, you get to play with a chainsaw !!! :D:D:D:D:D
