Many Perth residents cleared their schedule yesterday over warnings there was a storm brewing.
While some sections of Perth did cop some rain, the grand notion of a roaring thunderstorm was an unrequited dream for many. Sending weather-freaks into a deep state of despair.
No doubt this was worsened by the increasingly despo clickbait media that put a decidedly apocalyptic overtone to their weather warnings. No wonder they are being rolled by social media.
So you can’t blame the public for having serious reservations about today’s load of warnings. We spoke to Aaron who told The Times he was hurting,
“If the weather is going to be muggy, overcast dogshit then it may as well throw a relentless storm at us! I absolutely hate my VW and have been waiting for mother nature to golf ball the fark out of it for a decade now, I am beginning to think that’ll never happen”
Similarly, Perth woman Kim says she can’t even muster the energy to send dramatic emails to her work colleagues urging them to leave now or never return home to their loved ones. Adding,
“I’m beginning to feel like a bit of a goose hyping up these storms. Honestly, just leave whenever, I don’t care anymore”
It’s a classic tale around Perth with trampoline owners even deciding they won’t take measures to half-arse the securing of their play equipment.
That is truly a sign of the times.
