It was wild up here too Dave, all night long right through to the biggest of the big at 6am this morning.
Then we finally got a break from the lightning for about 2 hours, then it all started again.

Finally stopped about 2 hours ago.

Apart from the occasional thunderstorm over the last few days, this big one started here about 6pm yesterday when we were driving home from Ballarat and had to pull over.
We had no vision (it was an instant flooding downpour) the thunder was constant and deafening, and the hail was large and loud on the car roof (I video'd it but don't know how to get it off my phone).
When the rain and hail backed off enough to see a bit of the road, we pressed on.
Got home and all was flooded and it didn't stop all night and much of today.
Lightning, Thunder, hail and rain.
Man, it has been a wild 24 hours!
We lost power several times for a few hours each time.

Yes, I heard about the Tornado warning for Melbourne too.
