That's more like it, some flashes and a BIG rumble, proper rain now. Been waiting for this

EDIT: Huge crack just then!

Managed to catch some nice CG's on Iphone. See how they come up after work.

Here's a pic from a friend on facebook - old oak tree hit by lighning. Taken near Monash Uni on Royal Parade, Parkville in the last 30 minutes!!!

Heading home past there in about 20 minutes, will try and get a better picture!

Bayswater and Croydon Rd's were particularly bad coming home....driving through whiteout conditions and the roads are rivers. Several cars parked off Croydon Rd in the ditch next to the high school had water 1/2 way up the doors and poor soaked souls trying to push them out. Looks like round 2 is rapidly building out west, we'll see if this holds. Out to check the rain gague!

A touch over 5mm from that 1st lot. Managed to leave the laundry door open so now the floor is wet

Kilsyth and Lilydale seem to have copped a bit judging by the number of jobs.

Rain stopped about 20 min ago but is now starting up steadily again.

40mm at ferny creek so far :O

That would have been fun to see.

Looking at the radar it looks like Round 2 is nearly here.

I have never seen it circle us the way it did here in Pakenham.

360 degress of thunder and lightning here but No rain.. It is amazing.

Edit 5:22pm. rain is here.

Geoff · Post by **Geoff** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:22 pm

Hooley Dooley what a ride!!! Will post rainfall total when the worst is over, got to keep gutters unblocked to get it all in the tank and not in the house! Going to be 50mm plus I reckon, it's been apocalyptic up here for an hour!!!

Storm2 · Post by **Storm2** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:22 pm

Storm approaching distant thunder and have seen 1cg. Nice rain shaft in the distance as well.

Thunder getting louder

Dane · Post by **Dane** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:26 pm

Having said i doubt we will get anything here, we had 15mm's in 12 minutes and even some small hail.
Plenty of thunder and lightning as well. Still plenty of thunder now.

HarleyB · Post by **HarleyB** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:30 pm

Had 0.8mm here, taking our monthly total past 1mm!!!
