Victoria floods - AGAIN!

We are currently in the middle of a massive downpour - again.

It is bucketing down, and BOM has warnings out for flash flooding across Victoria again for tonight

Be careful out there if you need to travel.

You guys can't cop a break, we had a bit of rain, a little went into my Patio area, my pier hole is filled again Nothing really bad yet, hope it soaks away ken. Good news is looks like it might be dry for the camp though.

Same here. What's worse, is that this has been the worst year for lightning I can remember. I have not seen a SINGLE night time electrical storm this summer If it's going to be cloudy permanently, like this crummer, might aswell be a nice electrical storm

Wind is picking up! Just had another really heavy downpour and the wind is howling.

Enough already

Fair amount of clear skies here atm, but that ain't gonna last if the satpic is to be believed. Skippysky also shows actrocious seeing for tonight, the jetstream is raging like a bull that's been conked in the 'nads. What is it with this (non) summer, cloud and endless crap seeing?

Worst "summer" on record. If La Nina was my wife, I'd divorce that homewrecker on the spot
