Quite nice here in Eagle Farm Brissy :)
Last time you came to Qld, just before your arrival, Brisbane was hit with the biggest hail storm in 3.5 million years.
This time, just before your arrival, a few towns were flattened by a cat 5 cyclone, with a couple of others left flooded. Just before you show up.
I see a pattern, and it's not a good one. Do you really need to visit Qld? If so, can you please leave the Shit weather down there?

Sad about the toddler being killed. Not even started on its life :'(.
Sorry to hear about your leak and ceiling damage, D4D. Hope it's not too bad and expensive to fix. Covered by storm and tempest insurance as the water came down, not up.
Had to put a screwdriver through ours back in the 1980s to let the water through, otherwise the ceiling would have come down on us (old type fibrous plaster)! Then got up on the roof in my togs at 3 AM and moved all the rubbish to find the broken tiles. We were having an upstairs extension done at the time.

We were at Hanging Rock watching the Eagles. We could see it coming and when it hit it, one of their big screens folded in half and Don Henley saw it and bolted off stage. Wild and wooly for a while and it absolutely bucketed down. Those with poncho's were alright ;D but eventually they were letting water in. To their credit the band came back and just played thru all the leaks. Joe Walsh talks like a grandad without his teeth in but absolutely smashed it with his guitar playing and his songs. Got home at 2.30 this morning.I was also at Hanging Rock raider, sunburnt during the day and soaked during the evening. Well worth it though and I agree about Joe Walsh, probably the highlight of the night apart from the lightning show.

Kudos to the family for describing it as a trajic accident, which is exactly what it was.
Brickbats to Channel 9 for following with a shot of the up-turned base of the huge tree, accompanied by the comment that it had been confirmed that "the tree was on Council land."
What was their point exactly?
If we could tell which tree would come down and cause injury we could easily remove it in advance. But we can't... Does anyone seriously think we should remove all the trees in the Dandenongs?
In some ways storms are even more insidious than bushfires, at least with fires it is possible to clean up property in advance.

My own web site gives me unlimited storage and high speed access and download speeds (at least as fast as this site ... ). It costs me about $10 p.m. when I pay two yearly in advance.
Does it really matter if a few KB are taken up with mindless waffle?
If it does, half this site, or any other, could be deleted ...
But that approach would also remove much of the social activity and content. It is this activity that makes us humans.
Just IMHO.

Their point was pretty obvious. Some of the council decisions around tree work are made with the best interest of the environment, not for human safety. I have a 20m tree on my nature strip that needs to come down for safety, it is not classified as a significant tree as it was planted by the developer. Nillumbik Shire won't give me a permit to remove and replant a more suitable tree.

While taking good care of it by removing grass growing around its trunk with a whipper snipper, the tree can accidentally end up becoming ring barked ... ;).

We got some mighty dry dirt up this way at present . Most of it is scratched up & ready to go as soon as we get some deep water on to it .Yesterday the still but constant sprinkle started & got heavier as the day went on . The BOM said 12mm so that means we have really had about 23mm in all . Nice start :cheers:
Yep, I got about 4 acres worked up ready to go so this drop will be great. Was planning on sowing next weekend but might be a bit wet for that now, but is a good problem to have at this time of year.

About 8mm here - can't remember last day we had this much rain......and that's pretty bad :(
That's got to be tough on the local farmers, and community in general. Though on a selfish note, we are supposed to be go carting in Bendigo today so hope the rain holds off for that..... Actually no I don't, he it belts down!!

27mm and counting, finally a decent bit of rain.
We got 20mm overnight and this morning, including hail. Great for the garden, not so much for the roof as I have found another leak :(

That's no good, hopefully an easy fix.
We had another 5mm overnight, so 32mm all up. Still trailing Staghornflat though!!!

Beware guys. This was us yesterday on the walhalla road. We slowly passed a car and the road collapsed and we rolled. Fortunately the trees stopped us but a few meters either way and we would have kept rolling down mountain and this is on the main road between walhalla and Aberfeldy 5kms from Thomson bridge road. Cars also use this road.
(https://scontent-lax1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11752536_1098159283546369_8035379688301611185_n.jpg?oh=5ee3d137cdded7ccf64381dcf839f9d6&oe=561C5294)
This happened today in the Victorian High Country near Woods Point. A smaller car tried to move to the side to let us through but with all the rain we have had, the edges were too soft. I managed to squeeze past the oncoming the car, however our friends behind us weren't so lucky.
We managed to recover it by using 3 winches and plenty of recovery gear. Fortunately, no one was injured.
The winch motor on the Pathfinder worked pretty hard and needs a service. Came home with the cable wrapped around the bullbar.

That just sounds so, so tempting to stay home Have Fun :cheers:it's ok, I've goggled the gps coordinates for knockwood and aligned it to the weather warning map. It turns out we'll be camping in the very south east corner of the north central district that's not marked red. According to the chart, we'll be camping in a balmy 15° but 100m along the track it will be -2°.
So just need to put my swag in the right spot and we'll be sweet;D

After a grey day on Wednesday, the week will become progressively hotter, reaching a predicted 30 degrees on Sunday and 32 on Monday.
That's hotter than Fiji, where Monday is predicted to reach a paltry 24. It's also hotter than Thailand (30) and Bali (31).
It's official: the coldest winter in 26 years is finally loosening its frosty grip on the city.
For the first time since March, Melbourne will experience temperatures over 30 degrees

The storm is affecting Sunbury and the area east of Sunbury, and is moving towards the northeast. They are forecast to affect Whittlesea and the area west of Whittlesea by 4:35 pm.
The State Emergency Service advised people to keep clear of fallen power lines, secure any loose objects in the vicinity of their home and stay indoors.
Residents were also advised to avoid using the phone during the storm, as well as switch off computer and electrical appliances.
Those caught outside should avoid sheltering under trees.
SES has urged people in the affected areas to listen to the radio for storm updates
Thunderstorms are also expected to hit North Central, Wimmera and parts of the Central, East Gippsland, Mallee, South West, Northern Country, North East and West and South Gippsland districts.

That one went as far as Bundalong so it was a fairly long alley. Few trees down along the highway there after that tornado. Thankfully there don't seem to be any sharks in the Murray, hate for there to be inland sharknados....

Finally got out of bed this morning and the sun was shining. Shower, shave and ****. Breakfast then outside to clean up some odd jobs, felt the wind pick up and temp drop about 5°. Next thing sideways rain bordering on sleet. Gotta love the unpredictable Victorian weather;D
Only one thing to do. Head inside and burn wood on the indoor campfire

Melbourne is expected to be lashed by damaging winds on Wednesday as severe weather makes its way across the state.
A warm to hot northwesterly airstream is forecast to bring wind gusts of up to 100km an hour with peaks expected about 10am, 4pm and 8pm.
The Country Fire Authority has declared Wednesday a day of total fire ban across all of Victoria except East Gippsland
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Scott Williams said the weather system was unusually intense.
"It's not just during the day, it's into early evening too," he said. "It's likely to have a lot of intensity in the winds and very high temperatures."
Cloud cover will see Melbourne reach a top temperature of 33 degrees. In the north of the state, Mildura will swelter in 39-degree heat.

Glad work to home is only 18mins
Same in the car park at work. The wind here is a bit of a concern added to the heat.
Air conditioner if on full noise and currently 33 inside our house. I'm about to clear a shelf in the freezer and I'm going to sit in there....

I can so relate to your comment Bird. I do hope your Dad is ok. As one who went to Corryong last year and really enjoyed it, I am really disappointed that we can't go again this year- my Dad has had recent surgery (which didn't go according to plan)- this ageing parents thing has whiskers on it, doesn't it?!! It is a tough gig....

The first water order from Victoria's controversial desalination plant will be made by the Andrews government to help combat declining water storages across the state.
Premier Daniel Andrews and Water Minister Lisa Neville made the announcement at Cardinia reservoir on Sunday morning for 50 billion litres (50 gigalitres), ending months of speculation that an order would be placed.

Thought Sunday's storms were rough? Well there's worse to come - and soon - with the SES predicting chaos on Tuesday with winds of 100km/h and seas topping seven metres
Wild storms on Sunday caused widespread blackouts across the state, and left about 36,000 homes without power, but they're merely a foretaste of what's to come.
Strong winds of about 100km/h are tipped to hit Melbourne on Tuesday afternoon shortly before a forceful cold front hits the state.
Waves of more than seven metres are expected to batter the state's west coast on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
The front is tipped to hit the south-west coast at about 10am on Tuesday and Melbourne about 4pm, risking peak hour chaos on Melbourne roads.
At a press conference in the State Emergency Centre on Monday afternoon, experts warned of likely power outages, fallen trees and branches and gusty winds hitting Melbourne of 90-100km/h.

The Alpine regions are expected to bear the worst of the windy conditions today.
VicRoads has warned that drivers on the Mount Baw Baw Tourist Road, near Vesper Road, Vesper, should take care travelling between Noojee and South Face Road.
"We have reports of trees and branches over the road," it says.
It says there may be delays getting through and drivers should seek an alternate route.

10:32am: Marie - a caller to radio station 3AW - is on board the Spirit of Tasmania which is about to dock at Davenport and says the ship has been battered by strong winds and swells.
"All of sudden there was one big wave and we all went sideways," she said.
Some passengers were knocked off their feet.
"There was one poor bloke who was sitting on a seat and went flying off the seat to the other side of the boat," she said.
She suspects a couple of truck trailers may have fallen over in the car park level of the ship.
"We were supposed to get off at 7.30am this morning, but now we're not sure when we'll get off."

Bells and the west coast is going to be going off this week with even bigger swells out on the outer reefs along there. There's a few big wave surfers from torquey and surrounds who will be all over it. Reality is the guys that are likely to be out there are pros and 7m swells aren't even that big in their world. The kayakers however seem a little mad heading out.

"This incident occurred early in the morning, well before [the bad] weather set in.
"Our staff monitored weather reports throughout the morning to ensure students were nowhere near the water by the time the weather changed," she said.
Weather data from the Bureau of Meteorology shows that at nearby Aireys Inlet, the wind was gusting at 89km/h at 6.30am on Tuesday and peaked at 109km/h at 9.30am.

Couple that with an earthquake, tsunami, a king tide, a sinkhole and a meteor shower....... we could be in friggin trouble here.

Victorians should prepare for a wet weekend with the possibility of flooding in some areas, particularly in the far east of the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of dangerous weather in Australia's eastern states because of a large and complex weather system, and a developing east coast low.
The bureau has predicted rain and possible thunderstorms for Melbourne on Saturday, with falls of 20-40mm in the far east and 5-15mm in the east.
Rain is forecast to continue across eastern Victoria into Saturday night and Sunday, with the possibility of 50-100mm falling in east Gippsland that could result in flooding

Wild weather and heavy rainfalls that slammed Queensland and NSW is heading for Victoria bringing warnings of flood, wind and heavy rain.
The heavy rains in the north, saw the Sydney versus Gold Coast game reduced to a sloshy affair. Across NSW there were 3000 calls for emergency services on Saturday as the weather damaged homes and property. Rivers have flooded and much of Sydney's light show, Vivid was turned off.
The highest falls in NSW were recorded at Ballina Airport (217 millimetres), and at Coolangatta (280mm) in Queensland.
Those heavy rains are descending onto Victoria where they will buffet far East Gippsland.

You are correct bud, I last hired mine on the way up and they just rattled around in the back.
I do know of a couple of people who go to the op shop and purchase a pair and put them in the back, they may fit our big tyres when force is applied :angel:

"With such a low level of snow, we could see snowfalls in the Ballarat area, also across the Otways, Macedon and Dandenong Ranges, the Strzelecki Ranges and across Southern Gippsland."
Snow falls in the Otways every few years, behind Anglesea in the area where the annual Falls Music and Arts Festival was held, Mr Efron said.

I know the snow isn't going to hurt the real timber much, but what would it do to gyprock, MDF, chipboard etc, not to mention any bags of cement / plaster that may be lying around - surely they'd all be shot, wouldn't they ???
Post by: scrapsD40 on July 13, 2016, 09:34:15 AM
So what does that do to his building materials?Here in Mexico we deal with inclement and radical weather all year. Builders usually won't take items that can be subject to water damage until the roof is on new building, and on existing building renno's, heavy duty tarps are always included in quotes.

Found an obs. re Licola/Jamieson Rd. bird, 18.4mm to 0900 this morning, generally speaking not as much snow in a
lot of areas north of Sale as the forecasts suggested, ie Mt Wellington got quite moderate fall at 1630M.
You could ring the Licola Gen. Store, they would prob. advise re conditions. (51 488786)

what was strange is that the cops were diverting traffic, 2 GU's blocking the road, so the only way to go was RIGHT... but the traffic wasn't moving.. the cars came to the T intersection and all stopped for a minute or so... ??? thus the 40 mins to get there.. shoulda gone Warby instead of Marysville...

Floodwaters are rising in western Victoria, with residents in the town of Coleraine rushing to fill sandbags to protect their homes and businesses.
People are being moved from homes and businesses to a relief centre at the Coleraine racecourse and the Glenelg Highway has been closed.
At least five people were stranded in their houses as floodwaters surrounded their properties on Friday morning.

Victorians, brace yourselves. It's going to be warm and windy, followed by thunder and lightning.
A severe weather warning applies to most of Victoria on Sunday, with wind gusts of up to 100km/h expected.
But hold onto your hats – it's also going to be a warm day with a top of 23 for Melbourne, albeit with a cold front arriving in the west of the state in the afternoon and rain hitting Melbourne late at night.
Wild weather continued around the nation on Saturday with severe winds resulting in 23,000 people being left without power in Western Australia.
And in Sydney, a driver made a lucky escape when a tree branch pierced the windscreen of his van after the city experienced winds of 65km/h on Saturday.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Scott Williams said a severe weather warning remained current for most of Victoria.

Barmah Nat park has been closed for many weeks. All the gates were closed when we had a look 2 weeks ago. Were only a few tracks to boat ramps open then, but doesn't mention anything open now.
We managed to get into Echuca reg park for 4 nights but had to leave once the track in became flooded too. Was dry day we went in then water level rose 100mm each day. Once at 500mm deep we got out. About 4 other campers were still in day we left.
Water level of the river be at least 4 meters higher than same time last year. Wonder when it will stop raining.

Where do people in Melbourne the planes coming? I've heard there is a public place where plane geeks can go and watch the planes land.
There's 2 areas for plane spotting. One at the north end on the road to Sunbury. Great spot for kids as there's usually a Mr Whippy van there.
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161009/d2dabf552ca5c8bea9be3ca8fd1a51c9.png)
The other is on the west side on Operations Road.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161009/553daf959ecc26c08f87a168a993e175.png)
Btw, plane spotting is what happens in these car parks during the day. I've heard the same locations have a different use of a night

My house got flattened. Roof gone. Structurally a mess. Cruiser roof crushed. Lucky none of us were home. Now living in hotel rooms for 12 months. But no real issue. It's just a house. Others lost their lives. Think of the hell those families are living.

Worst part is roof is slightly crushed. Should be fixable? Rest is a respray and some minor dents.
Insured for $25k with Shannon's. Let's see. Can't even get a tow truck up as road is blocked by a monster tree.
The Killa Concepts roof cage took the brunt of it.

Hopefully Shannons have better policies for you then most other insurers.
A few years ago after seeing the carnage left by some big storms on the Gold Coast, I was doing the ring around before my renewal and I asked everyone the same question, sadly got the same answer from everyone.
Q; If I have my boat hooked up to my car and they're both parked in front of my garage (not inside), then a tree comes down in a storm and flattens the boat, the car and the house, will you replace everything?
A; NO. Only the boat, the house and the contents are covered for storm damage.
I hope everything works out for you though.
Post by: mrdenn1s on October 14, 2016, 06:48:15 AM
Shannon's wrote the car off as a repairable write off
I bought the wreck for $3k. Can get it fully repaired and resprayed for $19.5k.
Payout was $25k minus the $3k purchase, so I'm ahead.
It doesn't get registered as a write off as it is over 15 years old. It's is all just panel damage. Nothing structural or mechanical.
I could have taken the $25k and started again, but like many of you, I've put too much into this car just to walk away.

The following quote is from the 1893 Brisbane flood records.
"For the first flood, Crohamhurst recorded an all-time Australian record of 914.4 mm of rain in a 24-hour period"
So you don't know where Crohamhurst is, "Crohamhurst is a rural community in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland"

Could be more on the way coming through western Vic this afternoon(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161229/37c58a8cfffd04a44bc71bd400cb117d.png)
Having said that, looking at the current radar (and I'm no meteorologist), I'd be tipping a cancellation of the warning......

Went into Bendigo this afternoon, had a huge downpour in the Axedale area, but in Bendigo looked like they had minimal rain.
Happy days! As we have 2 dams on our place, and both are now full to overflowing (as are the tanks on the house), should mean (hopefully) that we will have adequate water for the gardens and the fruit trees through the summer.

Usually it's washing the car that causes rain.
Well done.

No animals, our block is only 6 acres, so we have only veggie gardens, fruit trees (apples, peaches, cherries, oranges, lemons, apricots and (eventually) figs and olives. Around the house is flower gardens.
Not having reliable water is a bit problematic with animals. Buying in water is expensive, not so much for the water ($2.80/1000lts last year) but the cartage. It comes from the mains stand pipe in town.
The neighbours on one side run 2 horses and on the other side a small flock of sheep, but they are regularly buying in water during summer at about $300/13000lts delivered.
We considered putting in a bore, but their is no guarantee of usable water, in this area the bore water can be 300 - 13,000ppm salt. (not necessarily NaCl, but other salts, mostly sulfurs). Risking a minimum of $5K to find out is out of the question if you cannot use the water.

I'm no meteorologist, but looking at the wind/rain/pressure pattern on these, it looks like the storm cell in SA is splitting up and heading south. May not hit Vic at all.....(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/7c96b3161681a702f622002313e4f065.png)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/f888f70a560c58375d8226f0d5abc020.png)

Batten down the hatches: parts of Victoria are bracing for heavy rainfall and large hailstones expected to hit on Thursday morning.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning just after 8am, saying the extreme weather conditions should affect Victoria's north-west and towns north-west of Melbourne in the next few hours.

Always windy somewhere. Interestingly there's a very small low pressure off the Kimberley coast. They'd have to be keeping an eye on it to see if it's got potential to become something bigger. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170105/3c5003b33124c8044957da5f0c118231.png)

Take it easy out there everyone. Son's girlfriend has been in hospital overnight under observation and her car has been written off after hitting a patch of water on her way to work and rolling the car yesterday between Wallan and Whittlesea.
Hospital tests so far showing that she's fine, but a final MRI this morning before they'll release her.
Not the best of news Scott, but she's ok.
She can get another car.

I renovate other peoples houses all week and don't like doing it on weekends, especially when I don't get paid for it....hence my office reno taking near 6 months to complete. Gunna take the opportunity of an upcoming week off, to finally remove some windows and install a door in it's place.

I was stuck on the Eastern Freeway this morning when all hell broke loose. Thunder, lightning, hail, super heavy rain. I was stationary with the wipers going flat out and could barely see the car in front of me. Freeway had at least a couple of inches of rain running down it. Get into town and it was sunny, must have been the storm cell right above the freeway.
Same on the ring rd just as i got on it, pisses down heavy and could barely see with wipers going full- could have done with another gear on the wipers.

The morning is the coldest since 2015, when a low of just 0.6? was recorded on July 19
Temperatures in the state's north plunged even deeper, dropping to -6.9? in Rutherglen - the coldest July morning on record.

A Newport football game was cancelled after winds bent a goal post during the pre-game warm up.
"We had to call it a draw. The ball would have not made it up the other end, the wind was blowing straight through," said West Footscray Football Club secretary Phil Rugg.

Instead of mowing I reckon I should just get the vacuum cleaner out and use that, the result would still be about the same, A catcher full of sand, dust and dirt and a few weeds.instead of mowing in Victoria, they should just put a pool fence around the whole ****in Shithole

https://au.news.yahoo.com/vic/a/37630051/bushfires-and-snow-forecast-for-vic/
Bushfires and snow are still predicted to hit Victoria in a 24-hour period in the coming days despite an earlier severe thunderstorm warning blowing over, Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Scott Williams said.
Hailstones and flash flooding were predicted in the northwest of the state on Thursday but the severe warning was cancelled.
Strong winds are expected to sweep across the Mallee region on Sunday, with already dry conditions adding to the bushfire danger rating, which is tipped to hit "severe".
"Victoria, probably not with this first front, but a stronger front later on Sunday could push the Mallee towards severe or into severe fire danger even though they have had some rain," he said.
There were a couple of warm days but the fuel has dried and there would be a lot of wind, Mr Williams said.
"We'll be looking at the wind being the key reason to lift the fire danger," he said.
But there would be a rapid temperature drop up to 15C from Sunday into Monday which could result in snow falling in alpine areas.
"And we're likely to see a snow level on our ranges down to about 1000 metres or so," he said.
"It's a really big contrast (and) just shows the waters to the south of continent haven't increased in temperature much."

Pack away your bathers and get your umbrellas ready – summer is set to be rung in with a fierce rainstorm.
As Melbourne breaks records on Wednesday for warm spring weather, we are being asked to brace ourselves for "extreme" rain to hit on Friday.
The city is forecast to be lashed with more than its monthly December rainfall average in just the first two days of summer.
Meanwhile, some areas of the state are expected to cop up to 250 millimetres.
"It's certainly going to be a very wet start to summer," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said.
The bureau will release a severe weather warning Wednesday afternoon regarding the slow-moving trough.
Northern Victoria will bear the brunt, with up to 200 millimetres expected to fall in areas. The North-Eastern ranges is likely cop up to 250 millimetres.

Flooding from Victoria's super storm has closed parts of the Hume Freeway while residents in two townships have been told to evacuate as rivers bloated by heavy rain threaten to burst their banks.
Torrential rain lashed and battered the state's north-east overnight with residents in parts of Myrtleford and Buckland urged to flee as floodwaters continued to rise.

what are the wheels/tyres like on it?? :D
It was towed out within the hour, did a fair amount of damage to something oily as there was a lot of sand on the road until the rain washed it away

I was looking at getting one that I could connect to the Net a few years ago, that ended up being some stupid amount of money by the time I bought all the bits. Never bothered in the end, but still would like a nice weather station

Real easy, build up the side closest to the drop off and then block the drains.
Works every time.

Kids used to do that in Malaysia. Block the drain with paper, flood the road, and charge $$$$ to push cars through.

I used to do something similar when I was a kid. On the way to school, at every phone box you tear out a page from the yellow pages and stuff it right up the coin return chute. Then on the way home, fish it out with a bit of wire to collect the 10c pieces.
Usually ended up with enough for some hot chips and a game or two on the pinnies ;D

44 Metres of wire with a Balun in the middle (divider).
Now hes got 22M of wire and the balun.
Lightning hit the antenna and tracked out (to the tree holding it up) and then down the tree.
Blew out a TV and a few plug pack transformers.
Luckily nothing really a problem.
It'll get fixed.

Believe it or not, that’s actually a kind of serious comment.
They’re expecting some serious rain over northern NSW / SEQ in the coming days. All signs so far are pointing towards a possible flooding event in the usual low lying areas.
Not sure how quick you plan on getting up past Sydney, but worth keeping an eye on things.

Hi,wasn't that bad of a day at Capalaba, I was doing roofing up until about 2 p.m....had a shower of rain as I had lunch around 11.30 and it only started looking ordinary later in the arvo. The city looked to be getting abit more rain though, could hear thunder there for a while. Heard places up the coast got 60mm today, my place on Brisbane Southside got about 4mm, and Capalaba wouldn't have had 1mm up till 5 p.m.

Law library houses many irreplaceable books. Staff offices 40 cm deep in water.
12 month old data centre in engineering building lost along with research hardware, probably $5 million insurance claim right there alone.
Back tomorrow to try and bring 25 or so buildings back to life so we can get clean up crews into them......
Happy days.

Here is a tip, dont feed data centre ventilation systems from beneath as all the high pressure fans do is force all the water pooled below up into the new $3million super computer like a fountain.....

Well no power for about 22 hours so far. We got off lightly, all my drains and retaining walls worked.
Not much solar, so we lit the stove for warmth and ran the hot water radiator circulating pump from a generator. Plenty of Watts left to run some lights and the TV.
No enough to run just the fridge though with only 700W.
Some of the neighbours have moved out for the night as power is not expected to be back till tomorrow.
Still, can't complain, we are warm and dry.

Victorians are being urged to park their cars under cover and secure any loose items outside their homes on Monday before damaging winds sweep through much of the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning as it expects a strong cold front to approach south-west Victoria on Monday night and rapidly cross the state on Tuesday.
Ahead of that front, gail-force northerly winds will strengthen, with gusts expected to peak at 120km/h in Alpine areas and 100km/h in the south-west district and parts of the Wimmera.
On average, though, the winds are likely to reach 50-60km/h in the south-west and 60-70km/h in the central and eastern parts of the state.
Specifically, the Bureau says affected areas include Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Warrnambool, Seymour, Maryborough and all Alpine resorts.
Ahead of the damaging winds, the State Emergency Service is urging Victorians to:
Move vehicles under cover or away from trees;
Secure or put away loose items around the house, yard and balcony;
Keep clear of fallen power lines.
The front is not likely to bring significant rain as it quickly moves across the state. So while you might want to pack an umbrella on Tuesday, the emphasis should be on wearing a warm scarf and coat.
Melbourne should only see 1 to 5 millimetres, says senior forecaster Michael Efron, while the outer eastern suburbs might get up to 10 millimetres. That rain – together with a possible thunderstorm – is expected in the afternoon, after a mostly dry morning.
A top of 16 degrees is forecast for Melbourne, which will probably be reached in the morning before the winds and showers send the apparent temperature down to around 5 or 6 degrees, says Mr Efron.
Other parts of Victoria will get more rain, with the bureau forecasting around 5 to 15 millimetres in the southern and mountainous regions.

Temperatures are expected to climb above 40 degrees on Friday as the state heads into the summer peak.
Following a balmy start to 2019, Melbourne is forecast to see the mercury rise on Thursday to 28 degrees before climbing to an expected 42 degrees on Friday.
Senior forecaster Rod Dickson said north-westerly winds were dragging heat from inland, causing a day of extreme heat.
"The maximum temperature depends on the time of the cool southerly change," Mr Dickson said.

Extreme weather has destroyed a Gippsland life saving club, years after politicians were first warned it was vulnerable and just days before the end of repairs paid for by tireless community fundraising.
Heavy rain, winds, hail and tides lashed the the Wonthaggi Life Saving Club at Cape Paterson on Friday, gouging away land surrounding the club and flooding it as well as nearby community facilities.
Fearing the next high tide could finish the club off entirely, members were on Friday afternoon desperately trying to salvage valuable equipment and memorabilia from inside.
No official rain measurements exist at Wonthaggi, but the Bureau of Meteorology had received several reports that more than 100 millimetres had fallen during Friday's wild weather.

Emergency service workers are trying to save eight people who spent the night stuck in four 4WDs near Mount Hotham.
The alarm was raised following heavy snowfall yesterday afternoon.
The four adults and four children, aged between six and 12, spent the night in their vehicles on the Blue Rag Range Track west of the Dargo High Plains Road.

Thanks, been thinking about getting something similar.
Noticed on the blurb:
"The wireless rain collector sensor transmits data by using a low power radio frequency to the display main unit that can be located up to 100m away (within line of sight)"
How do you go with "line of sight" to inside the house ???
Post by: D4D on July 09, 2019, 09:11:34 AM

Display unit is in the garage 5m away through a double brick wall. It drops out if I move it further away. Appears to be pretty low power.
Post by: Pete79 on July 09, 2019, 10:04:23 AM
The rain collection bit is about 15m away from the display, but has line of sight through a glass window.
The tempreture sensor is about 20m away from the display and has to pass through 2 solid core filled concrete block walls and a timber stud wall, it works just fine.

Cloud increasing during the day with some late showers in the south.
Snowfalls developing overnight that should become heavy above 1400m in the early hours of Thursday.
Winds increasing to gale force.
or Friday
15cm of snow
Snowfalls increasing during the morning in Victorian resorts and then up into NSW. Heavy snow and blizzard conditions reaching down to around 700m overnight.

People living in Victoria's north and north-west have been urged to leave their homes as soon as possible as the region faces the worst fire conditions in 10 years.
Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp declared a Code Red – the state’s highest bushfire warning level - for the Mallee and Northern Country regions on Wednesday afternoon.
“Do not be there. If a fire occurs, you will not survive,” Steve Warrington, the CFA’s chief officer, said on Wednesday.
“If you live in those areas and a fire occurs, a fire will take your home. You need to make sure you are not there. Code Red says to us that we cannot control a fire if it starts. Move out tonight.”

Doesnt sound good...
Yep, I live in Rochester and yesterday was too close for comfort, especially when we started getting the emergency warning chimes through the phones telling us that it was too late to leave. Thankfully the 40+ CFA trucks and Water Bomber(s) did a brilliant job of fighting the fires and a bit of luck later in the day with a weather change. CFA crews came from as far as Mt Eliza and Pakenham, so big thanks to them for coming such a long way to help out!!

Definitely was, most of the damage was only about 2 kms from me and about 150 m from my partners house. We are both senior members of our SES unit... so needless to say we didn’t get much rest. We both did Rapid Impact Assesments for the first 5 hours.. I’ve never seen anything like it. I ended up taking over as Incident Controller at 10 am, as part of my role I worked with an investigation team from the BOM. This was quite interesting and was able to provide them with details of timings and initial reports from the community. They have since confirmed that it was a Tornado that hit Waurn Ponds.

A good 6.5mm in the rain gauge overnight, BoM said 1-2mm...
That'd be handy. I doubt we got even 1mm...

While Friday morning's blue skies were a bit of sweet relief for Melburnians wrestling with stage four lockdown, a continuous blast of cold air that brought heavy rain and hail earlier this week will bring more storms this weekend.
Blossoms may be inching out of buds and there are large windows of blue skies, but senior forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology Tim Bolden says a slow-moving mass of cold air is bringing bitterly cold weather up from the southern ocean and will hang around for at least the next few days.

The warm spring weather that graced Victoria last weekend will abruptly shift to severe downpours and residents across much of the state's north face the prospect of flash flooding.
Between 30 and 50 millimetres of rain could be dumped over some areas in just six hours on Thursday, the weather bureau has warned.
A severe weather warning has been issued for towns from Mildura to Falls Creek, as a low pressure system deepens over the state's north-west.
The warning area also covers Horsham, Bendigo, Shepparton, Seymour and Maryborough.
Ms Johnson said the heaviest rain could fall anywhere in the warning area, but is more likely to hit the eastern ranges.
Damaging wind gusts could peak at 100km/h in the eastern alpine area from early on Thursday morning, before easing in the afternoon.

We're not quite as hot but the humidity is sitting in the 80s, which isn't nice.
You had any rain at all, Jeeps ???
Our average for November is 90 mm but we only got 19 mm - & 18.5 of that was on the 1st! :o
Post by: Jeepers Creepers on December 06, 2020, 01:52:40 PM
No rain so far for Dec.
Currently 41.7 by the weather mob, but it would be higher.
We had a 44 the other day and this would blitz that.
Bring on Wednesday when the temps drop.
The all time official hottest day out here is 42, so we should run a PB today by the end of it.

Roof top tent and hammocks a wise choice tonight but may not be if the predicted storm barrels through tomorrow.

Emergency services are braced for flash flooding and landslides in East Gippsland where bushfires devastated the landscape just over a year ago.
Heavy rain has caused major flooding in NSW and downpours were forecast in Victoria from Tuesday afternoon, prompting a warning of isolated moderate flooding in some parts of Gippsland.
Flood waters have submerged parts of NSW.
Forecasters expect up to 60 millimetres of rain in Gippsland over the next 48 hours, more than the area usually receives in an entire month.
Victoria State Emergency Services state duty officer Brad Dalgleish said the ground in burnt-out areas of the state was “still raw”, increasing the risk of landslides.
He said strong wind could also bring down trees, posing a risk to power lines.
“Once the trees get a bit of weight in them and the ground does get a bit soft, those trees could come down,” he said.

We did nearly bottom out at zero this morning, with a .08 of a degree and "feels like" of minus 1.9.
Warming up nicely now, a balmy 5.8 at present.

Bad weather forces Spirit of Tasmania to stay in Melbourne
https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7291553/spirit-of-tasmania-delayed-due-to-bad-weather/ (https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7291553/spirit-of-tasmania-delayed-due-to-bad-weather/)
The Spirit of Tasmania didn't sail across the Bass Strait from Melbourne on Wednesday night on account of bad weather, a spokesman said.
A Spirit of Tasmania spokesman said the departure of Spirit number two from Melbourne was delayed due to bad whether, while Spirit number one was in Port Phillip Bay waiting to berth as soon as the other vessel is able to set sail.
The spokesman said more information on the expected arrival times into Devonport and the extent of the delays would be available later on Thursday.

First callout with CFA at about 530am Thursday was to a neighbouring locality with a downed power line starting a fire. Left the fire going (it was struggling to keep going) so we could see where the live line was. Taped the area off and left the local brigade to guard the area until SPAust could get there to make safe, and we made ourselves available for other calls.
Headed back to station, but whilst stopped to clear a fallen tree off road got summoned to the Mantra building in Traralgon due to fire alarms going off and all other appliances already at other jobs.
Got there to find a heap of SES dudes mulling around. We thought this is alright. They'll have everything under control because none of us country bumkins knew anything about these fandangled alarm systems, but as we got out of truck we realised they were all standing around watching their cars bob around in the underground car park.
Ironically sent there to manage the probable emergency event, and some bean counter put them up in the only hotel in town with an underground carpark, right beside the creek that was going to flood. Hotel was only opened this year.
The Traralgon Creek is normally 0.5m high. It was 1.5m at 5am, and reached 5.3m at about 7am when we were at Mantra. I think it peaked at about 5.6m at lunchtimish.
Got talking to a maintenance guy, asking what he was up to - he had no idea. He'd got there at 630am to check out a water leak in one of the upper floors, parked in the LOWER basement with the rest of the employees without any issues, came out at 645am when alarms were going off to find the UPPER basement 1/2 metre under water. I think his ute might be the one featured on 7 news Facebook, bobbing around in underground carpark, until the security camera goes under water as well.
One of son's friends lives in Traralgon near creek. His wife went to work at about 530am without any issue. He got up at 630am to find 100mm of water through his house, and his run around car on street with water half way up windows. Luckily his recently purchased GQ (with only 150,000km on clock, only driven to church on Sundays) was parked in carport and only had water just over door sills. Needs a good clean out, but hopefully should be fine.
The numbers say this is a big flood. I think it has peaked a little higher than the last BIG BIG flood that I can remember from about 1997.
Heard somewhere tnat Baw Baw got 230mm. All to come down Latrobe and Thomson. This is what would of got Walhalla as well.
East Gippsland was spared the worst of it, with only "normal" flooding.
Evacuation alert broadcast for Traralgon again this arvo with another 80mm forecast for catchment.
Lots of facebook desktop warriors harping on about money greedy developers and councils shouldn't allow building in flood prone areas, but looking at various aerial and drone footage it looks like the majority of the flooded area is all the older areas that were built before anyone established building restrictions in flood zones, and historically get flooded every 25 to 50 years.
Most of the new developments look barely affected, but water is lapping at their back fences. Dare I say maybe the new engineers got the heights sort of right.
To top off yesterday, when I headed home from fire station found I had flat tyre. Must of picked up a little bit of shrapnel from a dead wattle that I had to drive around on way to fire station.

I'm at a little town of Tyers, north of Traralgon. Lost power 6pm Wednesday. Someone at SPAusnet has thrown a dart at the clock and posted on their website that it will be back on at 1pm Sunday. Lucky we have gas stove, wood heater and gravity fed tank water, but don't know how long the electrically heated hotwater will last. Just like camping, but without having to pack up wet tent.glad you guys are alright... not much consolation for many though :(

We got a job to a tree across the road so headed off to investigate, whether SES were needed etc. The wind hadn't picked up at that stage. On the way there the guy driving said we won't be going back that way. A big tree had fallen across the road as we drove under it. As we drove along we passed other trees that had partly fallen, but been caught up in others. A bit further up we came across the tree that we were attending. It was huge and by now the wind had really picked up. We parked the car and luckily in the forest on the other side was a small clearing about 50m square. We stood in the middle and tried to work out where each tree would land near us. Every few minutes we would hear a crash and in the distance you would see the trees falling.
After a while someone must have cleared the first tree as a few people would drive up to our car and beckon us over. F... that you walk to me. We would suggest they wait with us until it died down, but no they wanted to drive back the other way. After the wind dropped we were out of there.
That same day a few people died in the area from trees falling.

Neighbour up the road built a retaining wall out of Besser blocks and rendered it. He then bolted a 6 foot high Colorbond fence to it. In this wind the fence acted like a sail. The fence is now leaning at 20 degrees and has taken the top 3 courses of bricks with it.

6 good sized trees came down today on our 5 acre block. Average of about 18" diametre. We were loking at maybe 3 or 4 years of firewood but then had an epiphany. Maybe we could mill them and geta bit of coin. Anyone done this? I am looking at a chainsaw mill attachment for about $150. Worth a go me thinks.Dunno but it sounds interesting.... Pottsy might take some of ya timber :)

A guy at work has done it. Pretty simple to slab the trees with the correct jig but it does take a long time and a lot of fuel/chains/oil. The hard part is to dry the slabs so they don't split. He told me the technique but I can't remember.

Read up on milling and drying, it could be 5 years plus before you get a return.

Yep, generally allow 12 to 16months per one inch thickness rough sawn for drying, rough sawn 50mm thick 2 to 3 years dependent on density of the timber, pine quick, red gum slow.

Mostly stringybark far as I can tell. Time is no issue. Thinking of maybe 40mm cuts. Stacking it with 1" slats between each slab. Any ideas as to what to seal the ends with? Seems a bit of a waste to burn it as we have mega lots of burny wood already.If you need help burning it - we can send in Scotty... theres never enough wood :)

‘Dangerous’: Three-quarters of a metre of rain could fall in the next few days
A intensifying trough could see nearly a metre of rain fall in the coming days, as wet weather ramps up in the east and snow hits the south.
There are fresh warnings today that 750mm of rain could fall in parts of eastern Australia in the coming days, as a deepening trough approaches the coast.
A forecaster has said the coming level of rain is “dangerous” and could lead to serious flooding before the week is out.
Further south, while the rain won’t be as monstrous, it will still hang around, leading to a soggy week for some.
Overnight, a huge wall of rain engulfed Sydney with lightning and heavy winds battering the city.
Radar images showed a 230km-long band of rain sweeping over Sydney at about 11pm, with 100km/h winds recorded in Goulburn and Jervis Bay.
The weather system – which stretched from Gosford south to Ulladulla – is just the first of many due to hit the east coast in the next week, with rain forecast from Thursday through to next Tuesday.

Alpine N.P/High Country 4WD track conditions and hazardous weather - June long weekend
Please note that Four Wheel Drive Victoria has been alerted that early heavy snowfalls and wet, slippery tracks have created dangerous conditions for 4WD access to some areas of Alpine National Park.
Some tracks including those above 1000 metres are currently impassable due to deep snow, significant tree fall and slippery conditions on steep slopes.
Forecast weather leading into the Queens Birthday Long Weekend indicates further snowfalls and wet, cold conditions. The depth of river crossings may also increase. Vehicles venturing into these areas may become trapped by snowfalls of rising rivers.
It is unlikely that 4WD track conditions will improve prior to the long weekend and visitors are asked to reconsider trip plans to avoid high elevation 4WD tracks, especially 4WD tracks in the Mt Selwyn area, Upper Howqua, Bluff, King Billy, Twins, Howitt High Plains, Dargo High Plains, and Mt Skene.
The Dargo High Plains Rd is currently closed.
Track Closure - Zeka Spur
Zeka Spur Track is closed due to hazardous conditions. A soak has become impassible at the Howitt Road end of the track. Access to Wonnangatta Valley is via Myrtleford and Dargo only.

Heavy winds last night, heard a crash during the night. Have a lot of work to do now as a cypress came down and took everything in its path. Had to clear the driveway to get out the gate. No power as well, fun times

But what caught my eye "Residents of Rochester, 180km north of Melbourne, ha?ve been told waters could potentially rise to 115m above sea level, affecting hundreds of homes."
I would have thought if the waters have a potential to rise to 115m above sea level, there would be a a few other homes affected.

Google says:
What is the elevation / altitude / height above sea level of Rochester?
Rochester varies in altitude / elevation / height above sea level from about 113 m to 126 m above sea level.
So those homes between 113 and 115 m asl are in a bit of strife...

I get that, just a very odd way to write it when any where else they say, expect flood waters to rise by two meters.

I guess that as Rochester is in a defined irrigation area all the channels and watercourses around it are accurately mapped using asl data. Elsewhere, flood warnings are usually given by river or stream height above minor flood level at a specific data point (Stream gauge) as stream heights arnt that accurately mapped. ???

Water causing some issues on our block but (touch wood) nothing major.
We are cut off from town (Heathcote) with all the roads in (only 3) cut. The main road in multiple places and the others by the flooding of the McIver Creek.
Still we are far better off than those in the communities along the Campaspe River!
Post by: Bird on October 13, 2022, 09:32:19 PM
The SES has issued an evacuation order for residents of Rochester, sections of Seymour and Carisbrook as floodwaters peak earlier than expected. Dozens of Melbourne suburbs were put on alert on Thursday night as the Maribyrnong River and Merri Creek continued to rise. Across the state, there have been 55 flood rescues and thousands of call for help.

Rochester varies in altitude / elevation / height above sea level from about 113 m to 126 m above sea level.
Same thing when we were at Leslie Dam near Warwick.
Says the water is at 473m! But that's the height of the wall above Sea Level - the water's only ~15m deep

I really feel for those in Shep, Murchison, Echuca and Seymour.
And, I admit, to a lesser extent those in Maribynong.
But a bit more so, as it starting to appear that the wall around Flemington "f...ing" racecourse may have been a contributing factor in their flooding issues and the flog from Vic Turf Club saying we are "entitled" to protect ourselves from possible flooding.

Have the genny powered up running fridge, freezer, a couple of fans (still 30C here), Starlink and the computer.
Went up to the shed and fired up the HF, VHF/UHF (batteries) gear and nothing but static. Local VHF (VK3RCV) and UHF (VK3RGV - Linked system) repeaters are both down, so I suspect power is out on them as well.
Being in an all electric house sucks at times, and the Vic gov is demonising gas. Made up a cold chicken salad for dinner and bought the butane burner down to the house for a cuppa.
Hopefully mains will come back on in their predicted time frame, if not I suppose I will have to fire up a the other genny to power the tank pumps for water to the house.

No real evident tree damage or anything at our place.
A friend who lives approx 6Km due north of us had windows blown out of the house, tree branches through other windows and the roof removed from on site business office. Power was out for her the same times as ours.
I noted lots of limbs down and quite a few reasonably large tree trunks (30 -35cm) snapped off about 3 - 5M up while driving into and around Bendigo.

Local business White wolf Cafe was on aca last night. They make awesome coffee. We have shifted all fridge and freezer produce to my parents place yesterday. I videod the storm when it hit us at home. Will show on weekend
Edit. We have NBN working now. Still no eta for mobile network. Shops open but CASH only. Off to the local grog shop ;D
Edit of the Edit. We got power and mobile services restored. A lot of homes around us ie next street, still have no power. Slowly working out exactly which line our power comes from, as it's definitely not the line out the front from previous times

2-way ???
Have a mate who's a 2-way radio tech in NNSW (he's in Murwillumbah but covers a decent area). Says that for several years people have been telling him to give it away as 2-ways are a thing of the past, nobody uses them anymore as everybody now has a mobile which is so much better etc etc etc. ::)
But then over the last 2-3 years he reckons he's been busier than the last 10-15! ;D
That's an amazing thing people have "found" ::) about 2-ways - all they need to run is a little bit of 12V power! You're not relying on 240V supply, external comms towers having power & so on!
Many years ago the Wireless Institute of Australia tried to warn governments around the country that communications systems that relied on ground based infrastructure wasn't the way to go as in the case of floods, fires, etc. the first thing to be destroyed was said ground based infrastructure. Of course the WIA wasn't listened to....

Bad night last night, lost power at 8pm and got it back at 1pm today. Trees down in the bottom paddock and moved the camper at 10pm as the 10 tonnes of Eucalypt above it was looking suspect.
