WILD WEATHER:

Police and army switchboards across the Brisbane greater area have been jammed overnight with scared residents reporting the discovery of undetonated rain bombs in their localities.

Bomb disposal experts from both services at first light began to spread out into suburbs on both sides of the River City to disarm what could be hundreds of the bombs that have failed to go off.

An example of the extent of this disaster comes from Logan south of Brisbane where a resident found two undetonated rain bombs in his local park while walking his dog earlier this morning. 

“These huge bombs virtually covered the entire four-hectare park,” the local said.

“They were clearly full of water and were quivering menacingly You could hear them ticking and I don’t know who was more frightened – me or Puddles.”

Well north of the Brisbane CBD, peak-hour traffic was at a standstill with an enormous unexplored rain bomb straddling the entire Bruce Highway near Caboolture.

A senior spokesperson for the Bureau of Meteorology told The Bug: “We correctly forecast the rain bombs to hit the state’s south-east over Tuesday and Wednesday so you have to give us that.

“We just have no idea why they haven’t gone off in a lot of places.”

“But there could still be rain-bomb activity today although they might be disguised as heavy showers pretending to be light rain.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: We have no idea if BOM has used the term Rain Bomb in recent days. They probably haven’t – The Bug does make things up, you all probably know – but we would like to have a dollar for every time media outlets have used it. Say if they used it 12 times and we could then pop $12 into our one-and-only bank account, we’d have $12 in the bank.
