Melbourne Storm Report

[doxximus]

Ok, so it's no secret that last night, mother nature went batshit ****ing loco!

so lets just use this to say what has happened to your house/car/around you.

if something was damaged, maybe someone knows someone who knows someone who can help fix it?

i woke up this morning to get to work at 7 (as promised to one of the employees who hasnt shown up yet [shit]), i had to go feed the dogs, go outside, backyard was pretty much our new swimming pool, with grass.

my dogs seemed fine, except that the youngin was a bit stressed, and both were muddy, A LOT!

drive down the road out of my court, and some guys fence is down. worst, always happens to him due to the large amount of wind that passes through his big yard he uses to keep trucks.

other than that atm, theres ambo's going everywhere, firetrucks everywhere else, and our factory office suprisingly didnt get flooded like it usually would of in this kind of weather

(Dox 1 - Nature ZERO!)

We have no power but fortunately haev gas heating so fine for showers. Cat went a bit mad though, spent the night walking around on the tips of it claws with its back arched at nothing!

Few trees down on beach road. Also a few sets of lights out. Balcombe Road and Nepean highway is but there were no police there when I left.

Cars were fine and glad to see my hunt for a double garage paid off!

Heard reports of people in the west turning round and going home as the west gate was a nightmare

the yarra was nearly overflowing this morning..

I got within 200m of work, then the road was closed with a big arse tree down, so had to go around another way, besides that had to drive through about a 1foot deep puddle...

Tip for anyone driving through puddles: always drive at a slow constent speed (don't slow down or accelerate through them)

My house, lots and lots of garden damage - busted flower pots, a number of bent trees/bushes, lots of mother's roses (the stick things with a ball of flowers on the top) bent over, dirt everywhere, water everywhere, shade cloth uprooted it's star pickets and threw them around all over the back porch..

I think there was some wind last night!!!

Apparently there was to be more rain today (according to nova100), but i haven't seen any yet and the sun seems to be shining (thank god)!

I just spent an almost 2 hours in traffic on the Burwood Hwy - gave up and went home.

[JAPCAB]

my house is a split level on a slope, so the downstairs bit at the back of the house sits low. I went downstairs in my jocks to grab some socks off the clothes horse; and there was about an inch of water that had got in. Spent an hour mopping it all up, filled up 3 5 litre buckets! Wet the wooden floor aswell, hope it doesnt crack and warp once it dries out. Got to work late (that wasnt a problem, i woke up a bit late because my alarm clock stopped working because there was a power cut last night)

[SKYLINE_GURL]

I cant blame the storm and was told that apparently I cant blame the guy because accidents happen, but this morning I was travelling inbound along dynon road and due to flooding on dynon rd, it was partly blocked off out bound, PARTLY... and some f**ker driving on the otherside of road assumed the entire road in both direcitons past the intersection was closed and decided not to look as he turned right at the intersection i was travelling straight through and hit us. The car is a ride off I keep getting told, I find out tomorrow if the 32 is a goner

[SLYSX]

Yeh the weather has been crazy, the bus i catch to school had to take a detour because the Hurstbride bridge was completly flooded, for anyone that knows the water normaly its around 3 meters below the bridge and now it was over the bridge. diamond creek bridge was closed and behind the diamond creek footy groud was completely flooded the water rose 2 metere's over night and flood the whole area.

[VL-TRBO-RB20]

Anybody around the city today?

Have a peek at the MCG.

There were 5 HUGE GROLLO cranes yesterday and today there is 4.5. One of them literally snapped off from where the operator sits.

It is still attached but is drooping along the ground.

Spoke to one of the tradesmen and apparently it smashed its way through a couple new buildings and came very very close to hitting the security guards hut, which was occupied.

On a lighter note a had a laugh to myself at all the lawn bowls clubs I seen today. They had turned into swimming pools with the curators standing around scratching there heads.

Right now as I type this my whole ****ing desk is infested with ****ing ants! For some crazy reason a whole ant colony is attempting to seek refuge in my appartment. Storms will do crazy things.
