Speaking of challenge pissing, the southern hemisphere is going to challenge piss all over australia

The main issue here is probably places that have been flooded for the past 6 months that have super waterlogged soil getting these really strong wind gusts


An Antarctic blast is set to lash several states, sending temperatures plummeting and threatening an early winter snow dump not seen in two decades.

A polar blast will hit Australia on Sunday carrying icy weather just in time for the seasonal shift to winter.

Some parts of the country are set to experience their lowest temperatures of the year so far as a cocktail of wintry weather conditions brings rain, hail, wind and snow.

Weatherzone meteorologist Joel Pippard said an Antarctic air mass encroaching on Australia on Thursday and Friday would collide with two moisture sources as it pushes northwards towards southern Australia on Saturday.

“The first is off the northwest shelf of Western Australia with a subtropical low and the second moisture source is a broad Tasman Low that looks to form over the next few days,” Mr Pippad said.

“The set-up of cold Antarctic air with moisture can be very conducive to heavy, low-level snowfalls.”

no damage at least. though I guess if the roof is damaged insurance buys a new one so maybe I do want hail damage?

if you're in texas, hire a roof inspector, his job is to help you identify any hail damage you might have missed and also make sure the check from the insurance company covers the contractor's bid exactly, as is the law in texas (insurance can't pay out more than the replacement is worth, so get a good long-lasting shingle!)

My worst was golf to baseball. Violent hail - huge spikes.

They totaled my car at something like 80 dents. For the next decade the golfball cars were a quiet nod that we were all in a tornado that passed.

Was at a bachelor party starting, bowed out due to a thesis thing I had to do. Watched the cell rip off the tin roof where I was smoking after they left. Came back in. Softball sized blew through the roof of where I went for shelter.

My dad sent a text that was essentially, "CHECK WX NOW. COME HERE." They were a mile down the road. Then the tornado came.

Hail works in your favor, I guess.

Your phrasing suggests it’s something we should already know about. A poke around Google didn’t turn up anything useful (just a bunch of LinkedIn/GlassDoor type stuff, as well as confirmation that Gannett does indeed have some sort of business ties to USA Today). What are you referring to here?

a bunch of the local papers owned by Gannett (which also owns USA Today) all use the same aggravating interface. check out USAtoday.com.

Tornadoes were pretty common in Georgia growing up, we also got regular hurricanes and in fact a tornado spawned by Hurricane Andrew dropped out of the sky to etch-a-sketch my house out of existence when I was 2 and it led to me literally growing up in a barn til I left for college!

This is Brickell/Downtown Miami area which is right by the coast of the mainland and notoriously floods after any significant rain. It's also where all the big highrises are being built and out of state tech bros seem to love to move in to. Welcome to Miami hope that million dollar condo was worth it!

It's been like that for a while now, but also "drainage" kind of isn't a thing when it's just part of sea level now, and the ground is porous.

There's rudimentary systems in place, but you can't build a dike or a dam covering 100% of the land underground.

I used to run a hotel at the airport and there'd occasionally just be water four inches deep in the parking lot for no reason

E: for no PREVAILING reason. Short of it being part of the sea
