[xxcourtneyjareauxx]

I remember this storm. It was the BIGGEST thunderstorm I've ever seen. My backyard was three inches underwater. My garage door was being lifted up by the wind (this was before we got a roller door). It was INSANE!

[RenegadePlague]

Well there's 27 minutes I'll never get back :o\

[39Halley]

[ellzyss]

Pretty sure thats South West Hwy? Towards Arrrrrmadalllllllle.. Boo you drive a Ford, but you redeem yourself by listening to 6PR. Gosnells!

[pheargoth]

@ellzyss He almost redeems himself listening to 6pr. The redemption soon faded away when I realized it was Howard -fucking-Satler....Howard is such a Racist, Right-Wing moron. 6pr is great except for him. pretty good video though...needed more action though.

[gwagon2010]

u tube you have a lot to answer for!

nicko yyyyou have a lot to answer for!

mother nature you have nothing to answer for cause you tried to fry nicko .

[Someguy2324]

'Batten down the hatches' would be possibly an English term, but no doubt would have been said in many different contexts in many different languages before hand.

But from what I know it is referring to the structure of a ship, and preparing it for a storm to hit. So battening down the hatches would mean securing all the doorways and hatches to prevent excessive water from entering the ship.

So batten down the hatches would mean just prepare for trouble.

[surfflipshoot]

11:49 - 11:52 u say "its like an event, its like an event, its like an event"

[Supergurl829]

[SimoWill75]

With editing, this (and i suspect ALL your vids) could be 1/3rd the length and a shitload more interesting.

[deathrow70170]

when you ran around your backyard i did the same thing in Germany i had brusies and cuts and bumps it was fun and i saw that on the Perth storm on the news and all i could say was "HOLY SHIT" but running around like a retard is fun

[deathrow70170]

[SuperBullygirl]

blogger / sunglass salesman... lol

[Spoiltlilprincess]

Great video! I was just leaving uni up in Joondalup when this started. It was spectacular to watch but my God it was scary driving in it! The hospital you mentioned was our local one. A local school had damage to 70% of the rooms. My car was written off due to hail damage. Our patio roof looked like someone took a machine gun to it! lol we actually had water coming in through the air con vents and the lights! It was pretty intense!

[GabbyClixby]

@m1key555 i apologise that something actually happened in perth for once

[foreyeproductions]

Very interesting video, don't know if you aware but in your video you can see the storm head whilst you are driving. Quite impressive :)

[f1196100]

i am in perth it started in erth at 4 .00 pm it was a freak humagous scry storm you are glad yoour not in it like i was { in house} saw it on the bus home thow

[NoMoreJuggling]

[SuperBullygirl]

@NoMoreJuggling lol

[byen8]

[Natashajb]

and then you've got your self some boobies

[un10cked]

Do not get me wrong on this - You should get someone to record it otherwise you might have a serious car crash.

[DayneMunt]

Living in Perth myself....this is a pretty good video BUT it does NOT give justice to the fierceness of that particular storm...Nicko is right....it was an amazing storm and I don't think any footage would have done it justice..... And yes it was freakin scary....

[SnowmanOzzie]

@DayneMunt i can agree... although where i live only got the rain (thank god) but it was a wicked experience... i love storms and that was the best ive ever seen... i do feel sorry for all the families who lost cars houses and whatever else they may hav lost...

[DayneMunt]

Living in Perth myself....this is a pretty good video BUT it does NOT give justice to the fierceness of that particular storm...Nicko is right....it was an amazing storm and I don't think any footage would have done it justice..... And ye it was freakin scary....

[LuminescenceCreation]

Hey nick, what camera are you using ?

[Brendanglo]

In Newfoundland Canada we say "batten down the hatches" :)

[LiLboy074]

Yeah Party Time..very Funny..hahahahaha..LMAO...

[77magenta]

god you are a full blown fucking wanker. mr i have new sunnies and that makes me a cool dude. fuckin loser.

[becksfreek777]

Was it like an event?

[mickymuddle]

my ceiling was dripping with water, and our rabbits who were outside were pertified! luckily they did have some shelter in their cages though :)

[killertellitubby]

dude !!! you were totally chill!!!! I WOULD BE FREAKING WHEN YOU SAID THE WORSE STORM IN PERTH

[davidjohncook]

you dont live far from me. you went past my house in armadale. the storm hit hard and flooded my yard and back room.

[HayleyLovesMeesha]

lol omg is that kelmy traino??

[Ruthymorway]

Kind of funny, i guess?? I understand not being use to it, but lord florida daily afternoon storms are worse than this, i guess I'm just use to severe summertime dailt storms. our hail gets to the size of softballs!!!

[thetristonator]

half ur lawn is underwater mate.

[wolfielez]

Hi mate. I live in Wolverhampton England..We react like you when the sun comes out haha

[lovebella100]

ummm ok?

[666Excorsist]

I dont think the people that weren't here in the storm understand how much lighter the camera made the clouds. I was up on the roof at the time fixing a cracked tile, before the storm hit, and i watch it, in the 10 or so minutes i was up there the storm had moved so fast, it was scary.

I then had to go to work, and within 10 minutes of the rain hitting the car park was flooded, like almost deep enough to swim. Truly was an amazing event, and sadly the most exciting thing in Perth in a long time.

[TheGeeWhizz]

were moving to perth from england in the next few years , and we get more than enough rain ....and trust me we won't miss it .........peace

[mrbluenun]

‘To batten down the hatches’ means to prepare for pending trouble. It is a nautical term from the early 19th century. When a ship was about to enter rough seas, the captain would order the crew ‘to batten down the hatches’. The crew would close all the hatches (doors) on the ship’s decks and use lengths of batten (rods) to secure the hatches in the closed position.

Hope this helps and it seems to be a world wide term.

[Hammersley1967]

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FUCKEN SWEARING ON THIS CUNT OF A VIDEO!!!

[95255346]

good ol armadale

[mickXfan]

omg this is hilarious xD

[sg1hbk]

You just said it Nicko, you are a fuckin' idiot running out there in the rain when you know there is lightning. But, I love the footage :-)

[Camster3]

[CanaDiaNxkiLLa]

[quiche992]

[sandykoong]

I was sleeping that afternoon when that hit. At 6 my window started shaking and it woke me up :( But sadly Rockingham had no hail

By the way you act like my 13 year old brother :D Hehe

[Raptor50aus]

Looks like Albany Hwy Armadale or Gosnells

[AshChapman777]

Oh the Perth people, i love them so much, anyone would think that it was hurricane katrina that had hit Perth with they way people was acting, anyway it wasnt so bad down at Rockingham, but still bad for Perth standards.

[munyman07]

@AshChapman777 it was f all down in Rockingham that is why you say it wasn't that bad. You got no ha, not much rain ( my mum lives in Rockingham ) but I can assure you it was fucking crazy here in the city.

[BioMuffin]

NICK HAVE MY BABYS!!!

[BioMuffin]

haha i had a landslide at the end of my street end broken windows, it was MAAAAD fun but i was also shitting at the same time

[chiron1100]

id laugh sorry itd be bad if when your running around in the rain filled streets a lightning bolt hits the water and electricutes you

[CurlyAkina]

Were all your kitties ok?

[CurlyAkina]

lol I loved the part where you ran out into the rain screaming. rofl

[wreckanchor]

So Rob how did the rest of the city make out? I guess from the sound of it you guys dont get much rain so I bet the city drainage and such is not set up to deal with it.

Been a subscriber of you here on YOTUBE for about 2 years now, ok if I friend you on Facebook? Then I can say I know someone in Austrailia. LOL Let me know.

Cheers

[wreckanchor]

That was hilarious Rob. We get storms like that and much worse here so Im used to them. Glad you all faired well thru it.

[paintballnazi]

you are lucky you got the rain first we had clouds (purple) roll over quicker than you could blink

then hail straight away smashing everything i ran like i was running from the cops that sh1t hurts i still have bruises and today (Thursday) i am still cleaning and drying out the carpet!!!! but i must admit it was quite an amazing downpour we had!!!! my mate was at joondalup emergency when the ceiling collapsed.

I love your dog by the way!

[NickosBLOG]

I have never seen anything like it, the whole city yesterday just shut down lol, even all funerals were canceled!

[fictitiousfruitcake]

@NickosBLOG seriously? wow that's crazy!

[SuperDeadlyGamer]

yes in european countries that i know of it goes day/month/yeat

[discolights]

How crazy, I saw it on the news earlier and thought of you guys over there!

[NickosBLOG]

yeah, we had some fun, but it got scarier lol

[SlowBrakes]

sad aussies lol

[EazyslashD]

is evrything okay there i heard it on the radio in holland.

[bonez56]

Great video Nicko, I am only 180km south of you in Bunbury and we had nothing like what you had. I am not sure if you are north or south of the river but all we had was lots of lightning, thunder and about 10mm of rain...no hail or wind.. humid as hell down here too!

[NickosBLOG]

yeah, it was still 33C when the storm hit, so you had this hot air meeting this cool air and it just went off lol. Never seen anything like it

[MarkIsCharmed]

Thats mad! D:

[afielsch]

waah wrong side of the road!!

;-)

cool vid!

[NickosBLOG]

lol! you crazy driver nicko!!!!! whaaaaaaaaaaa!

[mikeptman]

Wow, that footage of the street being flooded is absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like that in my entire life.

[hitmancoolio]

haha 'i see the light'

[Tulip4312]

Weve got it worse in albany nicko the lightning is insane and yes it is true... When an aussie see rain.. Its somthing we only see once in a lifetime.. So we go insane lol

[harlzdogger]

Actually, Melbourne gets it weather, anywhere from the North to the South, but yes, generally from a western orientation, generally. Just to let you know, this was a completely different storm to the Melbourne storm, well same characteristics, but different trough line, etc.

[OnePotChefShow]

Glad to see you guys are ok. Hopefully the garden and house didn't cop too much damage.

[huynh12312]

i wanna go swimming daddy lol

[huynh12312]

that is a shame! that the hospital of the birth of ur baby was born!

[MrMan852]

@watupdog892 in the us we use the format of date/month/year so like the 12th of February is 12/02/2010

[jami3r00]

hahahah pussy rescue was amazing! iv done that before!

[yeajordan]

I really like this. It is like the movie Cloverfield.

A great documentation :D

[hachi9992jrn]

your baby is really cute :D

[masterfulstyle]

Awesome vid mate, good to see your power came back on sooner than two days too, so how bad was the 2nd storm front that night? not too bad I hope, otherwise you would have to pay out a lot of money for therapy for poor sasha and your cats :( lol

[Madt001]

That was one of the best video ever. Such a great documentation. It reminded me of one of those doomsday movies especially at the end of the video where you and jess are just sat there with Immy in total dark talking for the last few minutes of camera memory. I know you said at the end its pretty serious but I got to admit I really love thunderstorms and I'm so jealous now lol.

[roset85]

Is this the same storm that hit Melbourne? It just finally got over your way, or just a new one which had the same affects.

[bundybearable]

@roset85 This was a new storm. Melbourne usually gets Perth's weather about two days later - I hope we don't get this storm in two days time!!!

[roset85]

@bundybearable Yeah I hope so, I think people are still recovering from last week.

[bundybearable]

@roset85 Definitely! We still have tarps all over our roof & have a big wooden board where our front window used to be. Mind you, our neighbours roof completely fell in, & they're now out of their house for at least 6 months - we were lucky!

[katiebaby1]

im pleased u guys are all ok and u handled it well we had worse then that a few years back loads of people lost there homes and stuff it was that bad so u was kinda lucky but still im so pleased ur all ok and imogen handled it well for a baby i hate thunder and i get scared i used to hide under my duvet when i was little so yh hope all is ok and no one got to hurt

[katiebaby1]

baton down the hatches is what we say here in the uk

[sandyny]

Lol ironic how you were all omg i smell rain its teasing me on twitter .. but anyway glad youre OK

[CoconutCop]

Incredible, glad you guys are safe.

BTW - batten down the hatches is used here in the US as well.
