Rain Event - Thursday May 30th - June 4th 2013

[rikjpool]

Hey guys. Been a while.

One of my friends out in Murpheys Creek have been under torrential rain for the last 90 min. Water leaking in through their roof and into their living room, like a waterfall. She recons easily over 80mm's in the last 90 min. And looking at the video i'd believe it as well.

Stay safe, if you get under a solid line, there are some MASSIVE totals possible.

Absolutely pouring down her in Castlemaine I think that the radar might be under reading.
Some of the thunder is like a real solid sharp loud crack, made me jump when i went
outside to have a look. Any chance that there might be hail in some of these storms.

Long booming thunder just heard and first really big drops now hitting the roof. Looks like we're in the firing line here too now!

Crazy rain rates here !!!!!

[wolfcat]

Wow, the Airport jumps from 6mm to 25mm in one sweep of the weatherzone radar.

[droughtbreaker]

We're getting smashed here. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain. The gravel driveway is starting to flood and water teeming off the roof. You would swear it was December.

[dry]

I wonder if the June highest day rainfall records may be broken by 9am tomorrow in many areas. CBDs record is 44.2 in 1904.

If it's like this now think about what it will be like when the front moves through tomorrow and the colder air interacts. It may not be thundery tomorrow but I expect more steady heavy rain. Some areas could be pushing 100mm from this by tomorrow evening.

[thunderhead]

Wow - huge thunderclap sounded like an explosion and shook our house! Sounds like a serious storm overhead!

[wolfcat]

The Airport has registered 32mm of rain in the last hour.
