Yeah the dam' thing tore up the Albany MegaCentre...where are we going to get our takeaways tonight??
Levity aside, I was there an hour before, and could've been there an hour after, that's life.

Just this morning we were saying: "Well all we need now is a volcano, and Nature will have done the lot!"

Again no mention of the funnel cloud on the AA or WP METAR or ATIS?

What about locusts?
Did you have them recently?

Once again, you should be glad you don't have any of those darn nuke plants...

Cheers,

Thanks Marty.
I don't know... perhaps keep your shakes!
At least a tornado only comes around once in a decade, although curiously the last one around these parts ten years ago also hit Albany!

Think about it: a little stronger, a little further south - it would've vacuumed the harbour bridge and dropped a couple of hundred cars in the harbour!

...I am about to get superstitious about discussions of doom.
Mother Nature will get you in unexpected ways.
Markus, you're right, we should not tempt fate
