Assuming the OP is serious and the other posts are - well corny attempts to get

a laugh - it was so windy on St Kilda Road this afternoon waiting for a tram

we all had to literally hang onto the railings not to be blown over. I've never experienced

a gale like that in the city, it was frightening.

The rose should be alright, if the cut isnt a clean cut maybe trim it till it is, then stake the rose and give it time to get over the shock.

It may take awhile before it shoots, but it should be okay.

I have a garden full of roses and know a fair bit about them.

Be sure to stake it.

Houses 'blown apart' in Vic tornado 22 MAR 2013, 4:24 PM

A tornado has swept through Victoria's northeast, injuring 20 people and sending caravans, roofs and verandahs flying.

Caravans, roofs and trees were sent flying as a tornado powered across Victoria's northeast, leaving towns in wreckage.

Moira Shire Mayor Brian Keenan said several houses at Bundalong, home to about 300 people, were destroyed and many others damaged.

"It is absolutely incredible. You would think an atom bomb went off," Mr Keenan told AAP on Friday.

He said massive trees had been ripped out of the ground and several hundred metres of power lines had fallen.

"How there wasn't lives lost is beyond me," he said.

Fierce storms hit the Murray River towns of Bundalong, Yarrawonga, Mulwala, Rutherglen, Koonoomoo and Cobram about 8pm (AEDT) on Thursday.

who'd have thought we'd be getting tornadoes in Vic 😮

I saw the news last night about the tornado but wasn't that right up in the far north-eastern corner of Vic and the south-east of NSW? How far did the bad winds reach?

Re: wind :(

debra9275 — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 22:16:53 GMT

Rabbit in Melbourne we had very strong winds, but nothing like what they experienced around Rutherglen.

Re: wind :(

purple_haize — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 22:29:01 GMT

I think it was up around Yarrawonga as well, wasnt it?

They had a tornado.......

Melbourne and surrounds just had very strong winds.
