Most of it just passed here in Dandenong, but it seems the thunderstorm hasn't quite finished - it is moving away. I had my PCs off for a while

Just drove from Endevour Hills/Dandenong area through Belgrave, and damn, I couldn't believe the rain and lightning. I was following a Typhoon through Belgrave-Hallam Road, and the brightness of the lightning was blinding. Must have been striking in the surrounding padocks or something. I couldn't see s**t driving through Belgrave @ 30km/h because of the amount of rain, just insane. Water was pooling on an uphill road... not a good sign

So yeah, stay indoors!

try living up around bendigo with a storm, when it rains water floods every road, creek, and dam floods which makes driving with out a 4x4 near impossible especially on the dirt roads here, the lightning strikes trees in paddocks right next to where your driving, wind almost blows the car off the road, and theres roo's everywhere! not a pleasent experience.

Yes I sat outside last night and watched the electical storm, it was great, one hit about 3-4klm away and I'll tell you, I myself, I actually jumped back it was that close, then all of a sudden the hail come down and boy did it come down, I ran out the front and moved the Laser into the garage it was that bad.

Getting a good storm right now (Sthn NSW). Lotsa lightning and rain which is fantastic, the more the better.

I have to take the gf home in it in a few hours though.

try broken hill for fun when they get rain they have near 2 foot gutters and drains that turns to creeks through the middle of intersections
