Melbourne / Victoria Weather Warning

[Run n Spread]

All I'm worried about is ****ing Metro and the trains running Saturday, cause I need to get into the city.


We all know rain or extreme heat trains turn to shit.

Might get an uber..

My line obviously thought ahead and just cancelled all together. Bus ftw

 

[Run n Spread]

150 mm at worse
A quarter of annual. But other parts of Australia get this all the time. Problem will be combination of lightening and wind which will blow trees crack tile s etc. Then you're right in the shit. Don't know how to prepare for that.

Melbourne isn't designed to cope with that amount of water.

We aren't tropical North Queensland or Darwin.

Be alert, not alarmed. Prepare but don't panic. Stay informed.

 

[Demosthenes]

It will be fine. Sydney has worse every few years with the east coast lows.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Anyone else kinda in love with the BOM girl?

 

[Smoooothy]

It will be fine. Sydney has worse every few years with the east coast lows.

Sydney also deals with far more rain

anyone up for a surf down Elizabeth st Saturday??

 

[rippersnipper]

Working overnight tonight. Could be good tbh because it means less muppets will come in at shit hours. Will give my bananas a good water too.

Flying out on sunday which isn't looking too good tbh, could see a cancellation

EFA - it still only takes 5 mills and many of Sydney's streets become impassable - it is the biggest abortion of a wet weather city in the world

Be alert, not alarmed. Prepare but don't panic. Stay informed.

Sit tight. Be confident.

Radar starting to show rain between Warnambool and Hamilton.

 

[Gough]

Sit tight. Be confident.

And if you see a big puddle of water the best thing you can do is take a big run up and drive through it.

Lol one of my sisters is going to Melbourne this weekend for a shopping trip.
Gonna bucket down the whole time.

Anywhere around the ranges could be looking at 300mm+
No joke.

 

[BotsMaster]

I can't recall a thread like this for the floods in Queensland, South Australia's power outages, NSW bush fires or WA's weeks of 40C heat.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Lol oh noes poor Melbourne! Toughen up, we get this kind of weather plus extreme heatwaves and it barely rates a mention.

 

[TheKanga]

I'm pretty sure the major flood in QLD a few years back got a thread.
What's the big deal?
Just letting people know to stay safe.

 

[Gods_Son23]

Good luck everyone.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I wonder if we are up for a repeat of this:

 

[flashmanvc]

In times of biblical downpours, spare a thought for the courageous men and women who install and service the rain and river gauging stations and measure the volume of water the rivers carry, all whilst dealing with the burden of administration.

50-80mm of rain three days in a row?

 

[kaiserchief13]

It's been good knowing you all

 

[TheKanga]

Look forward to reading the reports.

 

[TBellicious]

I’m a self confessed weather nuffy and I’ve had my doubts over Melbourne weather reports before.

But this is legit.

You can actually hear the fear in his voice.

 

[TBellicious]

The worst of it will hit north and north-eastern country towns. We could still be talking about the flooding in a week or two in those areas.

 

[Gods_Son23]

Damn. He's shook.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

I'm driving to south Australia on Saturday morning.
