Hi all,

I've been told by a friend that the West Gate Bridge is closed due to the wind. Bolte Bridge may be closed this afternoon towards 5pm.

A friend in the Water Police said a boat sank after coming loose from its mooring earlier..!

Winds are expected to reach 100-130km/hr, so take it easy on the roads today and people have been 'urged' not to drive unless really necessary and something about leaving the city if possible..

My workmate said today 'wouldn't it be funny if the roof came off' and not 5mins later... part of the warehouse roof was flying around.. lol..

Anyway take it easy

Around me looks like a bloody hurricane has come through. Just popped up to the post office and it's like a war zone.

There are trees everywhere, shit all over the road, multiple trees blocking the roads, pine cones and needles like snow drifts.

My internet is in and out, lights are dimming and coming back on.

It's madness!!!

A guy around the corner is going to love coming home to this.....

Our showroom in Richmond is now part-convertible :rant:

Some poor, brave tradies are up there now fixing it. One of them nearly blew away so he cracked it and went home. Part of the roof landed on one of the Weltmeister mechanics cars. Another interesting day...

My mum works for the Botanic Gardens - she said today is the first time EVER they have evacuated all the people and closed the gardens!

Crazy!

Not too sure about your area/line, but mine was working (Dandenong line). Trains not on their 'normal' platforms and bit of a confusion here and there, but nothing too bad.

Trains are running to Box Hill then buses are used to get to the rest because of trees on track.
