Loud long thunder, it made the windows rattle. The rain is all over the place, very sporadic, but when it rains it's very heavy, it's bucketing down here again and it's starting to get really dark again too

Damn you lily!Oh man, i hate bayswater. Not even a distant rumble hear yet, while you are getting some back home.

Rain has intensified slightly, and temps dropping off, also cooling my hope for anything more exciting this afternoon.

Winds have also slacked off a little hear now.

First flash here and lightly raining but heavy drops. Very dark!

I have a friend who lives at Kennet River near Lorne, and I have just warned her about the nasty little storm.

Distant thunder, now closer..
1mm so far.

Starting to clear now although more cells are popping up in the North West.

All I will say is just WOW! I'm so glad I had a rainproof jacket - got stranded in the storm and had to do the bolt back to work - water everywhere! Can't wait to check the gauge at home!

dissapointed so far. just a few rumbles and lightning, and only 2mm of rain. oh well, maybe later. not losing hope yet...

Some clear air action later would be awesome, I hope the sun comes out to play after this clears through before the front arrives tonight

Geez that storm near Donald must be a thumper, plenty more to come this arvo by the looks folks. Been short heavy bursts of rain and thunder here for the last 3 hrs with the last storm being the best, only around 5mm here so far, but just great to see stormy skies again and to hear that sweet,sweet thunder.

Just a little bit of rain here, looks like we are getting the light part of it as it goes over us

Some blue sky appearing to the North & North West of me, I reckon once the sun comes out it'll be steamy as!

Just started absolutely bucketing down here, roof is starting to leak in the warehouse and back carpark is quite deep in water. And here i was thinking i'd be lucky to get a little bit of rain.

Might have a line of big storms soon running Colac-Donald and nth from there, could be very nasty and one to watch.

4.5mm in 35 minutes, no hail, rain stopped, sky is clearing, thunder rumbling.

The sun is out! It's getting dark to the NW again. Round two could be a corker. The western district from Colac to the Otway's looks to have had some really nasty stuff with more developing.

Sun is out again, it's almost as if the storm never happened - some high cloud to the North, but looks nice - should heat up hopefully!

Watching that now. That, if it pulls off will be amazing. Average storm hit before, delivering a quick-fire 5mm or so. Can see sky clearing, which is a good sign

BOM expaned the Severe thunderstorm warning area

9mm here was great few rumbles too! Almost 14mm at the Airport


More to come especially on the windchange

5mm here in Wantirna.

May still get 30mm with a bit of luck. Lovely day
