[mad*moo73]

Must be 100km regularly now
I think I saw a cow fly past

Didn't see a cow but there was trampoline on the Dingley Bypass!!!!

[mick]

Now some ridge capping has blown off, its like three little pigs, might not be there by morning.

There goes a sheet of laserlight. Better than watching Bathurst.

[James]

I have have had numerous things appear then dissapear on my front lawn in todays winds, the latest now being, a work of art, yes someones canvas painting!

[93ben]

So windy in Templestowe and my underground power has been out for some time now.

Gosh, hardly more than a strong breeze here, got a little gusty around lunchtime but nothing much. Don't know whether it's still coming this way or it's been, front still out west by the looks.

Rhino.

[mick]

Id say youve got about an hour and BANG.

LMAO!
Would be a good time right now to catch the train up to my parents place at Kilmore with the bike and ride back with that wind behind me. I would set tour de france style record times!

I was thinking similar, my better half and I went to Glen Waverley for lunch, said to her we could miss getting the bus back as I wouldn't even need to push the wheelchair and we would likely outrun the bus.

Returned home to find large branch of the plum tree had snapped off, it had withstood 50 years of wind prior to today.

Nearly 1700 open incidents now on the Emergency Vic website relating to weather. Carnage across a wide area now. Rain closing in from the west....

Just back from lunch at forest edge in Gembrook, saw on car get flattened by a tree on the way back, all got out ok though. Got home and a big branch had flattened half the chook house too. Will be glad to see the rain arrive and the wind die down.
Still got power, Seville area is all out and long waits before it is back.

[Geoff]

The people at the property I was at a couple of hours ago in Olinda are now on their way to hospital. Huge gum tree has crushed their house and car, lucky I got away when I did!

[Rivergirl]

That's so awful Geoff and toncynic. I bet you're glad you left Geoff

[hillybilly]

Lots of damage in FC. At least two houses badly damaged by large trees. Every road off the mountain here is closed due to trees down. Never seen anything like it.

It has been happening since befoe any of us can remember. Just part of life Im afraid.

The wind has just kicked up as I type.

EDIT bands of blue on radar crossing bay are not even drizzle. More wind blown virga.

[droughtbreaker]

Nothing exceptional here, just a regular gusty October afternoon ahead of a cold front with the odd decent squall. No damage whatsoever around here as far as I know, not even any branches down here.

[HarleyB]

Didn't even get close to 20 degrees here today, and wasn't even that gusty. Today was basically the same as Friday here. Overcast and warmish and quite humid with periods of sunshine during the afternoon.

[ollie]

I just got home from doing around the bay in a day it was a very trying day on the bike wind was crazy out around frankston got home to bendigo and the trees are hardly moving.

[mick]

NIce rain last 15 min, not much wind.

[Wilko]

Busy arvo as next door neighbors tree damaged a few tiles on back of house
At this rate I won't have many trees left by end of spring

A variation in rainfall from north to south in the metro area. I've got about 5mm so far but places further north are still on zero (Scoresby) and Feeny Creek is on 0.4mm
