OK, I take it back, it's gone psycho, full white out squall that's getting more intense as I type,
WOW this is WILD!!!!!!!!!!

Front just starting to come through, wind picked up, heavy rain.

It is going outside in rowville watching through wire door can feel cold air converge with NE air

Sorry to hear you haven't had power since yesterday Geoff. Yes it was frightening up here last night. Glad you're protected from the West. We are open to the West but don't have to worry about big trees falling on us hopefully

[nafets]

Yeah john WSW winds now here, big fat drops of rain but not that heavy.

[samueliza]

At the very least a road weather alert is warranted!! Totally mad out there!

[Australis(Shell3155)]

Think I have just lost sight of the city lights.

[wolfcat]

Marge the rains are here...

[James]

dogs getting very agitated, very unlike her....

[Lara_Hunter]

Heavy rain for a while here. Was jogging when the roll cloud come through, lucky made it home before any rain hit! Very wet out there right now, almost 8mm

[blackmamba]

We were getting drenched a while ago, for a few minutes. Nothing here now, though.

What a storm!!!!!!

Just minutes ago it was blowing a gale and bucketing down at the same time - both the rainfall radar and the Doppler images sure look evil

Brings back fresh memories of January 22nd 2009 up in Corryong when my family and I were watching a ferocious squall line (lightning, torrential rain, and 100km/h+ winds) rip through town in the space of 20 minutes, shutting down the power, causing flooding, and uprooting large trees, at the time that was my most violent thunderstorm until March 6 2010

nothing major here so far just windy and light rainfall...might ramp up later

[Geoff]

43 users online - marvellous, amazing what a spunky little front can do to get us all excited!
Lashing with rain here now and windy too, but nothing compared to this time last night thankfully.

Happy to say Radar looked a whole lot worse than what we have got so far., Phew..

[nafets]

4mm here, so about what i expected from the first band, still a few hours of rain to go though judging by the radar. Not overly windly here though, only coming in bursts with squally rain.

[wolfcat]

Melbourne dodged a bullet with that first round... Radar shows more to come though.

If that first bit had really hit the inner suburbs we would have flash flooding all over the place.

[daviescr]

insane squall just quietening down now, pulled 7.2mm in a tad under 15 mins, max gust I got was a wicked 59km/h

[johnno]

Moving too quick to see flash flooding but if was Summer in one of those slow moving troughs then we would have another story

I had the opposite Shell, I was in the path of the weakest link but got slammed way worse than last night. Strange but Melbourne
