Check out the 512K radar from Bairnsdale and Melbourne from the City to here and to the South East is about to get smashed!

Those radars are working.

Right smack under it here in Macedon, really loud thunder and a lotta lightning over the last hour or so. Looked like about 7mm in the gauge as i ran inside from work. Still steadily raining now. Nice and cool too.

Awesome! I can see the storm from Templestowe! The temperature is dropping, the wind is picking up and it's getting darker inside! :)

Update: It just started to rain yay! My rain dance paid off!

Update (4:07pm): Just heard thunder! :D

Steady thunder here, wish the radar was back so I knew what is coming. Skies are black and temp is dropping. Have to go back to work soon too.

Bloody frustrating with this damn radar not working. I need to make plans to get home as I'm on the bike.

If you look at the national radar there is storms pretty much the entire length of the trough now. From Melbourne all the way up in to the NT!

Some CC's and rumbles here and somewhere between 0.0 and 0.1mm so far.
