potential floods. Fun! “Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding are likely across north-east New South Wales and south-east Queensland on Tuesday,” said meteorologist Sarah Scully in a video for BoM. “The hit-and-miss nature of thunderstorms makes it difficult to forecast exactly where the heaviest rainfall totals will be, however soils are saturated due to recent rainfalls, leading to an increase in surface run-off, and an increase in the likelihood of flash flooding.” Basically, to translate that into non-weather terminology, we’re all fucked, seek shelter, and do not leave the goddamn house.
