There was an accident here yesterday where two cars collided head on in a turn lane. They were only going like 30 mph or something and the drivers were fine but one car caught on fire very quickly

It rained 3 inches in a day and night last week and flooded a bunch of places and washed out roads and lead to most of the county being temporarily cut off.

This weekend it will rain 3 more inches over 3 days lol

Isn't it supposed to be unbearably hot in the Australian interior in the middle of summer? I know the center of the continent is one of the hottest places on the planet.

Yep, that's pretty much it.
I just got back from a trip to Antarctica and it didn’t dip below freezing one time in seven days while it was like -10 at home. Therefore climate change is a net benefit.

Yeah that was my understanding...the vast majority of the population is on the edges of the continent and that is also where most of the big cities are
