can confirm seriously strong winds. great storm tho! got tons of photos and still watching it
Belgrave showing .5mm but maybe they are under water and not reading correctly. Upwey: 13.7mm most of that just then.... And so the firesirens go..... always happens round here after a bit of rain because people don't slow down on the mountain roads...
sunny here, but constant rumbling over the dandenongs...is the storm expanding or something...seems like it as it went past and is now seemingly coming closer again

They're the storms coming from Lilydale and Coldstream. They are going around the back of Mt D.
Just come from one of my local lookouts. Can see the Aireys Inlet cell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the nth/sth band from Berwick extends up to almost Seymour!. Some awesome structure! The Cell to my NW is dying from the look of it.
Heaps of pics to be posted later

Just went to the physio, storm hit whilst i was there. Only 3mm here, but 30mm at Dads place in Coldstream in 10 minutes! Pea sized hail, and yet another $50G down the drain, as the strawberries were obliterated.
Btw i can see the whole western sky is full of thunderstorms from North to South! Will be on later for us.
