That's amazing Duckey.
I moved from Croydon North about a year ago. Is that around Warrien reserve?
I live in a similar unsealed road now and wouldn't be surprised if ours looks like that over the next week.

Yep not far off - the "short" end of Holloway Rd, just off Lyons Rd.

WOW at all the rain you guys have had!

We're sitting on a lonely 1mm, but it's quite humid - feel like I'm in QLD!

My old boss and family friend lives on Holloway Rd Duckey..

yeah looked at least a 40mm deluge, was amazing when i drove through Croydon.

More showers sweeping in from the NE, can see black bases and rain curtain complete with a bit of scud moving in..

Great totals and never ceases to amaze me that we can get 60mm down the road in Ringwood yet over here Sniper recording 8mm and Viewbank AWS only 2.6mm. (PS I now my manual rain gauge so just need to work our where to put it - away from prying kiddies )

SES crews over in Croydon well and truly flat out but all quiet over this end of town.

Got some light rainfall here. The stuff that was over Melbourne earlier.

Yeah it is amazing, main reason for getting my guage was I often looked at the local weather stations and always felt we got more than them, pretty wet place here

I found the perfect place, in a garden but its nice and open, nothing taller than it and a pathway that it is right next to

Ended up with 2mm much smaller than some of the falls around town today.. I guess you win some then you lose some I got lucky last Friday today was the reverse

Haha i was thinking the same

Maybe those storms torwards the north of Yarrawonga will last this far south to here, if not there always tommorrow.

Just seeing the first flashes of lightning from here to my north. looks impressive

Huge guster or squall line on the 128 Yarrawonga radar...

12mm today from thundery showers, very still and humid outside, can see a large storm in the north west heading over the border to SA. Radar indicates that this storm is severe and likely to contain large hail. Storms are definitely stronger the further west from here. Will be interesting to see how tomorrow progresses with storms. I think those farmers with hail insurance will be hoping for a storm to wipe out whats left of their crops as rain is ruining what was going to be a bumper season through the wimmera.

They look to be moving pretty fast, and keeping the intensity. I think after they get across the border they will swing south west on the sling around from the low.

That thin band at the front of the storm, looks simlar to a convergence band.

No rain here since morning and although the strong easterly has quit, its a high tame looking sky atm.

Some moderate rainfall now. Seems to have strengthened a bit.

It seems as though I have found a new friend, or has found me. Was watching TV, when to the surprise of my mum, she spotted a big black spider lazing on the arm of the lounge right where I was sitting!

20mm in Glen Waverley, had dinner in St.Kilda, its was torrential for half an hour there, wonders at the falls. Great falls out east east burbs.

Really a nothing day here today, no sun, humid and all the action was sth of here. Not really expecting alot here over the next few days but you have to expect that with these type of systems, lucky if you get under a storm and damn frustrating if your not. Waiting until early next week for the real big rain.

That is mortifying in the extreme, I have now turned the light on!!

Nice storms up your way! Much happening lightning wise??

BTW Melbourne residents could wake to storms travelling down from the NNE in the early hours clearing after about 9am.
