Had a lot of rumbles & the lights flickered at one stage but the main action is missing me.

Getting quite heavy here.

A couple of rumbles here in Ashwood probably from that red line heading our way from Moorabbin. Went to a nephew's birthday party at Myuna farm in Doveton at 1pm today. Lovely afternoon, gusty winds, hail, torrential rain and sunny breaks in between. Lucky they booked a cottage room this year

That thin squall line? is backbuilding... hope it keeps pumping out some bolts and rumbles

This is the best time of year for SW shower streams converging around a low. Christmas/Boxing Day 2006 saw some massive totals out in the Dandenongs and outer eastern suburbs, up to 80mm if I recall correctly.

Here on the western side of the bay and well inland it is likely to remain fairly fine now and probably not much rain now for the rest of the year looking at the latest models, although there could still be days with local storms over the state.

Still rumbling away nicely here. Getting louder and closer.

Rain has stopped here but I'm starting to here rumbles now and they're getting closer. I can't figure out which direction they're coming from.

A few rumbles to the south here in Caulfield, that storm is crawling along, hopefully makes it.

Just had a nice flang just then...still pounding down here, up to 20.2mm.

Now sitting on 1002.3 YTD..

Just heard some rumbles here.

Just had a quick 7mm here. This system at present seems to be giving it all to melbourne.

Massive thunder to that!!! Best for the night!! Hope it doesn't get too close hahaha!

Ah that would be what shook my windows. Oooh! another one

Pooring here, that bolt landede & sounded at almost identical time, suprised the power didnt go out.

Bang, we've had a couple of ripping flashes and rumbles here as well. The air is FREEZING! It will hail soon IMO.
