1st day back at school...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's a night riddled+spattered with cracking whips+booming drums - Melbourne weather style. I'm quite sure a slight tremor was in the mix too on the Mornington Peninsula.
But I'll just keep glowing re surviving 1st back-to-school day...even if it was all PD's...

more storm...

MELBOURNE WEATHER: Storms may be predicted for my Mornington Peninsula world tomorrow, yet tonight, there was a massive, lengthy clap of thunder that shook the house. Just one.
No rain.
But the lights danced off and on.

What the heck? #CycloneSeth #Melbourne #melbourneweather it just came absolutely out of the blue with big long thunder and absolutely bucketing down in Point Cook. Rest of the world: we are in summer, apparently. pic.twitter.com/ohEEUXTJYG

double whammy storms this morning...

And guess where I am right now...Mornington Mazda. I have been here since 8:40am and I am told my car will not be ready till 2:15pm...new side mirrors installed. Too humid to walk and just now a storm has started...belting rain and thunder.
I have a book to read. All fun. https://t.co/wNtz54TYnn

Hopefully your book didn't get too wet! That was some rain.

It's only 1030 and the atmosphere is erupting! Look at all those cells! Possible large hail, flash flooding and damaging winds folks so drive to the conditions and seek shelter if a storm is nearby. #melbweather #melbourneweather #melbourne #weather #WeatherUpdate #storms #hail pic.twitter.com/KboNRrveEB

And I am still at Mornington Mazda.
Life is quite exciting today, watching 2 storms roll in from a car showroom. All this in just one morning.
Pour me another coffee.
Make it strong.

It's been a tough day out there if you're a wheelie bin in Victoria.

But one receptacle has gotten into the Halloween spirit, rolling down a road in Wallan, around 50km north of Melbourne's CBD, in an incredibly eerie fashion. #melbourneweather #10NewsFirst pic.twitter.com/5fSXKMyIGa

Victoria's wild storm aftermath...

Buildings have collapsed. Power lines down and alight. Trees down on moving cars. 2,051 without power Mt Dandy alone. Trees blocking access on Tourist Rd. Absolute chaos in the Valley and Dandenong Ranges this evening. All before 11pm! Winds not expected to ease until midday. pic.twitter.com/ruABpzQ21H

Power, phone, internet likely to be out til at least Friday but a relief centre with a generator has been set up in Olinda - roads are likely to stay cut off so it is good to know we can go somewhere to recharge our phones, get a hot shower, get some information.

— Emma Nicholls (@hsyresearch) June 13, 2021

Road out to ferntree gully is the only one partially open from olinda, but many power lines down over it, swerving around branches, mudslides, one lane in parts, unstable embankments- very dangerous and I imagine will need to be closed again.

— Emma Nicholls (@hsyresearch) June 13, 2021

All of the generators have sold out at Bunnings located near the Dandenongs. They are the new toilet paper 🧻

— Liz Hicks (@LizHcks) June 13, 2021

I can tell you it was a wild night in the Dandenongs. The SES has received 4,500 requests to 9am. 245,000 homes and businesses affected by power outages.
