3rd weather post today...

I know, 3 Melbourne weather posts in one day, but this is crazy...
Warm night...temperature climbed to 33°C this morning...only broken with a burst of thunder and rain...
Now, the temperature mid-afternoon is swinging between 21 and 25°C...PLUS ongoing rounds of blustery winds...

foreshore warning signs...

Warning signs are scattered along the Dromana beach foreshore trail...indicating that the clean-up after last Friday's wild and stormy weather is still not quite done...Danger still lurks... pic.twitter.com/Kkwg1fi32u

power out on the Mornington Peninsula...still...

I have heard Hastings was still power-deprived this afternoon...I think my Dromana has been very lucky...

my wild Melbourne dominates my day...

PASSING THOUGHT: What a wild Melbourne...late yesterday afternoon, last night, from 4:00am this morning (woke me) till this afternoon...Nearby Red Hill=utterly devastated with trees on the road, trees hanging on trees + debris everywhere...At least I forgot about removal boxes...

RIP to all the trampolines killed during last night's winds.
You were treasured.

On a side note: CONGRATULATIONS TO ANYONE WHO GOT A NEW TRAMPOLINE THIS MORNING!!!#melbourneweather pic.twitter.com/cUQn9niS5W

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

I’m not too far from the border of metro Melbourne and regional Victoria, I hope @VictoriaPolice don’t fine me if my house ends up in regional Victoria because of #melbourneweather

Beautiful day in Melbourne. Saw a flock of trampolines flying south over the bay. Majestic.
