To all of those Victorians please look after yourselves over this weekend, we know its summer and Melbourne is well known for 4 seasons in 1 day but this weather is just crazy.
Sometimes we write things that rattle others little cages and sets up anger or frustration, but we care for you, your families and your cars.. Stay safe.

My water tanks went from 2ft to overflowing (about 30,000L collected), the dams have jumped a foot, and the paddocks aren't dusty anymore. I'm a happy camper in Gippsland

We ended up with 12mm from Fri-Mon. A shower on Friday night and another on Saturday night and that was it. We were all expecting a repeat of 2011. Lots of preparation and hard work for thankfully nothing. It ended up being more of a media event than a weather event out on the Wimmera.

No hype in the North East, 200mm plus last Friday. we were evacuated from where I had being staying in Wangaratta (for the third time this year). The rail corridor and the freeway were blocked at Euroa and Benalla.
Just today got back to check my place further down the Hume and was Ok but you could see where the water channel on my boundary was at capacity.
