I am only predicting another 10-20mm here, complacency on my part, or realistic, considering that huge blob looks like heading straight over you guys. Whoever it hits, will get 150mm though
60mm and still falling, Narre Warren is a mess with lots of roads flooded, some of the worst local flooding I have ever seen.
Can hear thunder again I rekon will end up with 100mm+ here and Just south of here around Hampton Park Lynbrook, Lynhurst area 150mm+
Lots of flashes off to the S/W but has gone very still now. I pity the pilots I'm watching trying to land between these cells - more flashes off to the west now....
AWF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE Please use official warnings from the Bureau of Meteorology for professional services.

Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.
Oh wow, I had to ring Jake to check this... My AWS has recorded between 7.30pm and 8pm Rain Rate of 240.0 and 51.6mm, then between 8pm and 8.30pm Rain Rate of 145.8 and another 13.8mm.
Might explain why I've got flooding?????
I really need to go and catch up on some posts, hope everyone is ok?
The storm heading towards Geelong looks rather nasty, along with the one that is hitting Lara that was mentioned. Large hail and wind damage are big dangers in that area along with the flash flooding.
Mother nature is putting on the most amazing lightning show here to my North, we are in a rain lul at the moment, 50ml today so far, most of it coming in about 1 hour
