Were you home at 13.09? From 13.09-13.17 at Belgrave Recreation Reserve was without question the most amazing rain I've ever, ever seen anywhere.
I was checking my phone to see if I had received the call/text to get on the ark.

Rains light here, but hasnt stopped since 4:30pm. Baro was rising in last 3 hrs but is now steady at 1009 hPa.

Unfortunately I was at work. Missed it all. Do you have any pics?

Rhino.

How is it looking compared to the amount of water that we had in the September event Rhino??

I know further over towards Bendigo we have a lot more water flowing than during that event.

Nowhere near as bad here Gerta, but in the early Sep event I got 90mm in 15 hrs so this has been really saoking rain as opposed to flash flood type rainfall. Steady rain has started again here.

Rhino.

This is riverine flooding rains and equally as dangerous. So not to be taken lightly out there.

Lots of rain coming with a tilting starting to take place. Rain will increase in the southerly and westerly side of the upper low that should travel NE of Melbourne overnight.

9mm's since 9am, the slightest of drizzle at the moment. just about stopped here.

Vaughan up on the NW part of the Central ranges has had 130mm so far the last 3 days with more rain falling!!

Werribee River will see some good flooding over the next few days which makes the next week a little testy with flash flooding a high risk.

Flood warning now in place for the Werribee River just down the road from here at Ballan. That hasn't happened since 1997 at least.

(Edit - Beat me to it Karl!)

Still lots and lots of rain coming down from the north and so this will add to the totals. Magical!!!

Major flood warning for the Loddon River now, must be some serious water being released from Cairn Curran and possibly may release more, and the river at Newstead, already at moderate level, may cut the main road Pyrennes Hwy there. All that water from Vaughan drains into the Loddon so makes sense if they have had 130mm+ there.

Rhino.

Up in Gisborne for the weekend, never seen weather like this! no gauge here, but according to bom we've had over 80mm since 9am friday

The Bendigo-Maryborough road near Laanecoorie had significant amounts of water over it this afternoon. Other roads such as the Maldon - Laanecoorie Rd were worse.

Rain getting heavier as I type.

been raining moderatly for the last hour or so. Event total is about 75mm

Severe weather warning just issued for flash flooding.

Just the same light rain continuing here. Baro steady, no breeze.

Pyrenees Hwy closed at Newstead now going by Vicroads. Still steady rain here.

Rhino.

its been raining here consistently for the last 5 hours, too cold and wet to go out and check rain gage but would estimate about 30mils so far, rain has picked up in the last hour but isnt really showing much difference on radar

Loddon River is heading towards Major flood level at Newstead. Crazy stuff.

Campaspe is heading towards moderate flood level at Redesdale, and with big flows from Coliban, Lake Eppalock could almost spill soon.

i go to Eppalock tommorrow for a look. With luck it will be spilling over
