Sydney awaits 'soggiest weekend of summer' as Victorian authorities defend flash flood warnings

I dont think warnings were issued late, imo it was just a bad timing for some places cuz weather conditions changed fast . I mean, its hard to predict that much, and they did warn ppl beforehand, but things happen fast in nature... cant blame em really . Those caravan parks shoulda had better backup plans tho, 600 people outta a place is crazy . And yeah, climate change is real, lets all just agree on that . Australia's been hit hard by extreme weather, and its prob gonna get worse if we dont do somethin about it .

idk how they can defend that timing tho the pics of people stuck in their cars or flooded homes are all over socials... it's not like they're saying 'oh yeah, we warned you' when it's too late what if someone lost a pet or family member? just sayin'.

I'm so confused... like, if it's gonna be a "very wet weekend", why didn't they warn people sooner? I mean, i was just looking at the weather forecast yesterday and it looked pretty normal... But now it says there's gonna be huge floods and stuff! What's the point of even having warnings if you can't tell us when they're coming?! And btw, 180mm of rain in Colac? that's like, a LOT! Does anyone know what that's like in terms of water volume or something? I wanna see some pics of all the flooded places...
