My ty little hometown flooded once. The tail end of Hurricane Katrina. It was the only interesting thing to ever happen there. I got up and was on my way to class (because rain doesn't scare me) and then the bridge washed out behind me and I was like "Well that's just great" and I ended up wading across and calling a cab to get home. Also class was cancelled.

Australia is just sick of being full of Australians.
