Can Melbourne get rain, well yes it can, this afternoon it started with the sky getting black. Then the Hail about half the size of a golf ball. big enough to concern car owners to get worried. but this afternoon I checked the car and it was OK.
Then came the rain and boy did it come down., very fast and hard. that it turned the place into a sieve. the main windows at the back of the house became a waterfall and we had to work hard to contain all the water, but soon we had a chance to breath and then we saw the flood in the road. My concern was then car could fill with water with car driving past forming massive wave in front of them. but it wasn't long before one stalled with water in the electrics.
The temperature dropped by 8 degrees in less then 1 hour.
The good news is the car stayed dry on the inside and the water started to reside before it got to the door.
In all an interesting afternoon, and now were watching the updates about the rest of the flooding in melbourne..
Lissa is on her way home from a church friends place where she sheltered, and Gemma was a little late to work. But we're all fine. Wet but fine.........
