This rain brought some relief from the heat as well as from the possible water rationing should the water level in our dams go any lower. In spite of the heavy downpour, the temperature is still high at 86 deg F at time of writing (11:45pm). Usually, night temperature here drops to around 75 deg F. Could this be proof of global warming, I wonder.
Talk about climate changes, Perth experienced something more bizarre. The city was rained upon by hailstones as big as golf balls! See The Star's picture below..
The freak storm caused landslides and floods and residents had to be evacuated. Trains stalled and buses could not enter the city as certain roads were closed. However, MAS flights between Kuala Lumpur and Perth were not affected.

That storm was scary. I watched from the news. The sky just looked like it was about to "telan" the city.

Freaky no doubt. The damage must be bad, car wind screens sure crack. But the picture in The Star is really nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike, just that the other did not published it. Had copied the same picture from The Bintang online but last minute did not publish it. Scarry eh the size of golf balls. Mother Earth is hinting us...
ReplyDelete"Hail the size of golf balls". Why does that remind me of Tiger Woods?
ReplyDeleteOnce my grand uncle told me he saw something like that. It was sooo scary!
ReplyDeleteThe compression in terms of a golf ball, is probably meant aspect of golf ball technology. Once the packaging has been used to describe the quality of the golf ball around the maze of the estate of a three-piece ball core. Tighter the windings the ball better performance. Since the progress of the materials used to produce the balls compression rating of golf balls are now just say what the "form" on the ball, the compression force.
ReplyDeleteGolf balls are offered at cheap prices because of their poor quality. Many of the single-layer balls are sold cheap for beginners, those who believe they are getting a lot. This is probably true for beginners, even if the balls as not allow the more experienced golfer the length of the row and make sure they are OS.
