Thread: Batten down the hatches Victoria!

Cheers! I'm in Rye at the mo and the big drops have just started! Love it!

Yeah, a few drops in the city too but most will come on Saturday by the looks of it. Up in the hills looks like it will be hardest hit.

Not good, we're Bayside, where we are only about 6' above sea level (no, we're not money laden beach front!), so not much fall in the drains,...fingers crossed. I've cleaned the gutters.
People say, "don't worry about what ya can't control", but I still do.

Big storm, eh? Wonder how many people will be without power from it? Better get your camping gear ready.

It already is. Caravan is in the driveway - always with fully charged batteries from the fixed solar it has. Can watch telly, cook etc no dramas.

Not much wind expected though, just bucketloads of rain.

I can look down from just around the corner from our place and look down to the tops of the Rialto towers from home so if we get flooded, they’ll be a heap of people worse off...

Will be a break form the warmish weather we have had. Above twenty degrees over night wears thin real quick. Lucky we are a up from the street by about a meter so should be right.

There are only two roads in/out of town here and in storm weather both are susceptible to road slips, land slides, fallen trees, flood waters and road erosion. History indicates it's generally not a matter of 'if' but rather how bad and for how long. Clued up locals are well prepared.
