Well actually gale force winds in Melbourne and they say it's going to get worse in a couple of hours.

I have tall trees all around me

Batten down the hatches purple ... there is a huge rain/hail fall front coming our way. It's just hit Geelong and predicted to hit the east between 1-2pm.

Me too - 2 enormous trees around the corner where I often park my car were ripped out last night with

such force the roots are bare and a huge hole is there. There must have been cars that were badly

damaged.

I just wish the bluddy power would stay on. For the price we pay for electricity, surely they can put it underground in heavily treed areas.

Power was out all day yesteray, couldnt get petrol, post office was shut, supermarket was even shut so I couldnt even get milk for my coffee. Went out and stocked up on everything this morning, only had one short lived outage so far today though.

A woman at work had a tree crash onto her roof.

I keep watching the radar .. as soon as the storm front reaches Port Phillip Bay I'm going to tie things down.

We have everything tied down, OH went to my daughters place and tied the trampoline to a fence, it is calm here at the moment, probably wont last long.

I am worried about my daughter she had to take her son to Hallam to a mates place, trees all the way there, it is all very well for me to tell her to watch out for trees, but you never know when one is going to fall.

I wish like Punch said, why cant they put all power lines underground up here in the hills, and clear the large trees from the side of the roads............too much money I guess.

Up here in the Dandenongs alot of the roads are so narrow, only room for one car, huge trees on both sides of the road, very scary driving down these roads when it is very windy, we try to stay home as much as possible.

Our power has been off a couple of times, but not as bad as Punch.

If the govt. used their brains all power wires up here should be underground, as trees come down over the wires and out goes the power, for ages....

Stay safe everyone no matter where you are.

I've tied things down outside the best I can. I gashed a knuckle, trying to wind down the market umbrella in the wind but it's down, tied up and shoved under the garden bench.

We do worry about our kids 😞

I washed it, put Betadine on it and covered it with a bandaid. It's not throbbing as much now xx 🙂

The radar shows the heaviest rain being blown out into the sea although Rosebud and Cowes are feeling the full force of it now.
