Wild weather.
Permalink  

Well here in Coastal Sth West Gippsland, Vic. We have really had a battering this afternoon, cold damaging winds, heavy rain, trees down, roads flooded and closures everywhere you turned. I had to go 1 hour out of the way to get from Phillip Island to Wonthaggi in the bus and up into the hills. Not nice on narrow roads, limited vision and winds trying their hardest to push you over and double B's coming the other way at you, still, they had the same problem.

I also saw quite a few tugs and Caravans being pushed around as well, my thoughts went out to them, I hope they all got to their destinations safe.

I'm home safe now and settling down to watch Melbourne Storm give the Broncos a lesson in NRL and tomorrow is another day. Keep safe all those in bad weather. Those in good weather, enjoy.

What a day for you! The last time I visited my friend Bruce at Coronet Bay a huge storm cell blew in and roared and thundered, and dumped a heap of rain. When I passed we had a bbq on the beach.
I know how it can blow in that part of the world. Brrrrr!
Stay safe and upright.

I think Doug you had today what we had last night here in central vic. It has been absolutely freezing today. Had to go to Ballarat tonight, 5 degrees at 6pm. Glenda.
