    Weird weather here at the moment. Trying very hard for a big storm but I don't think it will make it. Good luck to all you Vics. Looks like your in for a real good ride.

    Just got a call from a friend in Pakenham....her house is flooding apparently because she's at the low point of a cul-de-sac and the water is flowing under her front door. Her hubby is away and she's panicking.

    As I type this the most enormous raindrops have just started to fall here and it went from twilight to pitch black in about 1 minute. Love a good storm but really hope the tradies managed to find/fix that hole over my new kitchen ceiling!

    We had one about 6 years ago,I was working in brissie,got a call from my neighbors saying I should probably come home. 400 odd roof tiles smashed or cracked,ceilings in 3 rooms had holes punched through the ceiling by the hail. I got home about an hour after the storm to find hail stones the size of baseballs on the living room floor.

    How'd you all go in Melbourne? Looks like the worst of it has passed to the East now.

    Could get a lot worse yet. North east could end up with a 100mm tonight.

    Glenn,

    With what we have had already and with the Radar at the time of posting, I won't need a ladder tomorrow to do this large tall hedge job I've got. I'll launch the boat and anchor beside them.
    Been watch radar like a few of us tonite in between blackouts.
    Cheers Garry
