Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.
LIghtning is revealing plenty of greenage over the bay, easterly inflow atm. I suspect power will go off at some stage. Pakenham, Cranny going to get belted when it passes me.
Just lost power here for about 20 minutes here in Wodonga. There's something about the thunder. Sounds "deeper" than normal if that's possible. Angry looking cell heading our way from the NW over the border.

Wow WB looks like Qld. I'm sorry to hear things are getting worse for you. I certainly hope it will be OK. Glad you are OK Lily. Yes, great job Jake. Wonderful pics everyone. AV that sounds crazy on Ferntree Gully Road and Burwood Highway, they are down the bottom from me.

Mouth to mouth will fix that.
Just wondering if anyone has foxtel weather channel and if anything of note is on. Looks like supercell passing Catland.

spare a thought for all us river dwellers..... the SES has just spent a frantic 2 weeks blocking and sandbagging all drains, culverts and channels to stop the water getting to us from the murray river, now the water from this rain cant drain back to the river..... we could have a 'reverse' flood!
and everyones posts are just as amazing as this weather. stay safe

Holy crapola that was scary stuff, flangs galore...pleased it's gone
A bit of lightning and thunder, some heavy rain but now eased back to moderate, quite gusty. Nothing that you wouldn't expect from your average summer thunderstorms here atm, but closer to the bay and out west it is a different story. Glad to be missing the worst of it to be honest but that could change at any moment I guess.
