As I was driving home I noticed a Cb's stretching all the way from the coast towards the northwest, all growing in size as it met the moist conditions and was being forced up by the cold front. An amazing wall cloud ahead of the line too, beautiful to look at, and was nearly touching the ground too! As I was getting closer to home I could start to see some of the CG's in the distance. So, as the system came through, lightning every couple of seconds, many flangs, and the rain, it was very intense, dropped about 12mm in 12 minutes here at home - the gutters were overflowing and the roads were flooded, quite amazing. As the wall cloud come over, the wind suddenly shifted to the southwest and was really strong. Im not sure if it was up to the range of 90 km/h or not, but it just about knocked me over!! So right now, I still hear distant thunder, but the thunderstorm line as moved more eastwards away and we are left in a southwesterly flow, with the temperature at 18 degrees, after reaching 26 degrees earlier. Amazing!!
EDIT: The storms in a line will stretch further east this afternoon into Melbourne most likely towards 5pm.
