If there is lightning unplug electrical appliances and avoid using landline telephones. If caught outside find shelter away from trees, powerlines, storm water drains and streams. If driving through heavy rain slow down and turn your lights on or if visibility becomes low pull over and park until it passes. For SES assistance call 132 500.

I don't think anyone needs to suddenly know this, since all you have to do is look outside, but http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDW28201.txt

Anyone use the RSS feed for BOM? I've got it in my Google Reader but it refuses to make new articles 'new'. Anyone else with the issue or know of a better feed?

[colin]

Hmmm... Google Reader is not one of their best products.

RSS updates can also be verrry slow. Emergency updates can come through 18 hours late

[yorky]

I don't use it for Warsug however all my zillion other feeds are usually updated within the hour.

But anyway it's strange that all my other feeds work 100%, yet BOM fails to show anything up...
