Likely natural disaster

Well I was scratching around for a disaster as Melbourne is geologically stable and the weather is placid apart from the occasional storm and flash flooding.

Melbourne's water storage went well below 30% capacity back in the drought affected 1980's. The city has a much drier climate now than it did fifty years ago. They have built a desalination plant but they also plan to double Melbourne's population to eight million over the next thirty years. So who knows maybe they will build a dozen desal plants.

" Nice to be small." Flow-Dah where all the golfers go. I prefer a temperate climate to subtropical but Melbourne Florida looks like a nice sized city to me. A gentler pace of life.

You think a pandemic is not a natural disaster?

I must admit I was surprised by the several vulnerabilities, it really didn't come up in the research I did about this place. But typically the climate is just fine. Low humidity, lots of sunshine and not a lot of weather extremes.

Today is mostly sunny and it's going to be in the 50s. Not bad for the end of January!

Indeed it is. I put everything up on cinder blocks because we were expecting a couple of inches in the house. As it turned out, an entire river flowed through our town. Luckily I had thrown books, pictures, movies, vinyl records and other important things in the attic. I hope to never go through that again.

That’s what we ended up doing as well. 😀

On one of our trips we encountered golf ball sized hail which busted the windows on all four vans. They all had to be replaced the next day. Hello Safelight!
