Thread: Severe weather warning for parts of Victoria

I guess I don't feel so bad about our forecast here in Warwick in sunny Qld. They reckon -3 overnight!

In this case at least, fortune favours the chicken.

Wished I was more attentive last week(Sat).
The hurricane we got in Melb, almost busted my side gate(which I recently rewelded the hinges), but did end up busting up the parts D2 in line with it.
The car is facing north, and the 100+km/h northerly wind caught the bonnet, flipped it backwards, bent the hinges and bonnet, and smashed the front screen!

Worked 12 hrs each day Sat and Sun last weekend, and so didn't notice the damage till Monday morning, when I had a later start.

Wind is getting up here! At the moment 33kph, gusting 39. Forty minutes ago it got up to 45 - forecast is 26, which suggests weather is a little worse than forecast!

Keep your heads down.
I bet the wombats are shivering in their burrows.
Lovely day up here in Godzown BTW.

Us Wombats survived, although you needed to be early to get the good side of the fire. I got the DSE side, so I couldn't see and was alternately freezing and roasting. Brought back memories of the blast furnaces at AIS. The wind was a little feisty.

Yes, Mario. Phantom tried to get that going.... but it was more about embers than smoke.
