Victoria: Trough, Heavy rain/storms - Feb 11-13th.

[Dane]

No thunder down here just steady rain 2.4mm's so far.

[Lily]

Woah! Where did this come from???? I'd all but given up and had settled in for the night lol

Heaps of flashes and rumbles to the NW, wind's just picked up here after being dead calm.

[Bellarine]

Great lightshow and have just had a really short but very intense burst of rain - couldn't have been more than 20 seconds but the raindrops sounded BIG

[Lily]

James you HAVE to be getting some of this now, from here it looks like it's right over you and Shell!

Edit: Looks like nothing for us tonight going by radar, just a bit of light rain but lovely light show to the north

[Leasy]

Not a bad light show - managed to get a couple of pics of the fork lightning within cloud (as well as a stray plane) will probably post tomorrow - too hot and bothered to do them now.

Nothing close here at all, just a few distant rumbles. It looked like it was going to head straight for me, but deviated at the last minute and headed for Thunderhead instead!

5mm falling at a max of 98mm/h, and it's all gone quiet again. Thankfully the kids didn't wake up, but the cat's hiding in the pantry next to the alcohol...

[Skywalker]

Well looks like yet another storm missed us, just got a brief lightshow and distant thunder from the Laverton Cell.

[Rivergirl]

Its nearly here at Ferny Creek, can see the lightning and hear the thunder

[melsy]

Rain, lightning and long continuous crackling thunder. Wonderful

Absolutely pelting down now

[Hamlan]

awesome light show I must say, even from this far away. I'm at home with the kids and I've been shooting hand held with no tripod but got some nice CC's and CG's. Processing now.

[tizza]

Well, I can definitely say the flash flooding for my area isn't going to happen at all. It stopped before it could really do any damage. It just didn't last long enough. DP 20.2 Rh 80% temp a vey very steamy 25c

[Petros]

Radar shows rain has now reached Warragul for us Gippslanders, no lighting this side of the city yet, so even if we miss out on a storm (as BOM predicted), storm exhaust plus the nightime cooling should provide rain on the roof here in 90 mins or so. Good for sleeping anyhow!

[norfolk]

Can gladly say, I got a nice few rumbles and lightning and no rain at all. I think we can all say we all won tonight!

Thanks for the effort Hamlan, but without posting your location, the photos' wont be worth your effort!

was at end of south rd watching this one form and saw some amazing GC's on the melbourne side of the cell. Short lived but enough to produce some minor flooding for around 2mins in hampton street but drains have now been flushed and now coping well.

To me I think the SE burbs / bayside are in for another round of storms tonight. Seems like it is using the bay to pump itself up and hitting the same areas that copped it last friday ie moorabbin/ mentone ect.....

surprised at how long it took BOM to issue STW you could tell that one was livley as soon as it popped up just south of melton at 8:10pm yet it took them until 9:52pm to issue???

edit = wrong about the time as the STW that I was looking at was for the dendenong/glen waverly cell

[Flangfest]

5.4mm here.

Was great watching it make its way over the eastern suburbs. Nice CGs and CCs... definitely cannot complain today!

[solcampbell]

Only a few mm's of rain down here. Temp currently at 24 / 21DP and 93%RH. Need a knife to cut the air at the moment it's that thick...

[Australis(Shell3155)]

WS says 1mm, which I Would say isnt correct, seemed to be a lot more than that.
looks like someone has to get up the Ladder again..

I can confirm that rain has not yet hit Warragul in reality.
But it has hit Pakenham (was on the phone to a friend living there when it hit maybe 10 mins ago.)

[Karl Lijnders]

Yeah got this one more than me Michelle. I would be hoping to see 10mm there for you!!
