[telf10]

not really all the water is going to the wrong places

[MRMILO57]

Have patience, more rains are coming

[birdie068]

Track down and thank the person who built the jetter or what ever your under.

[murrangurk]

That was such a great storm!

I watched it hit the city from a high rise flat, while you were under there!

Nice post!

[hypnotizeu]

i wouldn't go too close to the water in docklands.... although id take it over the yarra

[TheViolentTeddy]

Did you think it might have been a good idea to check the forecast before you went out into the water with a tiny boat???

[julianhorsley]

@TheViolentTeddy

I did... at 12 noon I checked the met radar and there was a small storm cell to the Nth East - nothing too severe. Just in case though, checked the Met site for any warnings and none were current.  So I guess the answer to your question is "YES"

[TheViolentTeddy]

@julianhorsley That was a bit of a bugger then!! Ah well, at least you're ok!!

[crisss994]

i know how weird, at about 8am that storm was tiny, at 3pm it was nearly 3 times the size of melbourne

[millionsofmyles]

@TheViolentTeddy I was in Melbourne. There was no forecast of storms that day. It was a freak event and everyone agrees.

[scooter877]

[jackdaniel328]

[mozzmanau]

[blackis200]

Feckin brilliant. Are you sure its not the river behind my place in Ireland? Its like that all the time.

[anastasiastarz]

Did you catch anything?

[julianhorsley]

@anastasiastarz

Caught a feckin cold! ;)

nah.. caught a couple of nice fish before the shizz went down.

[elcampestrevoraz]

@julianhorsley In fact, you can fish better with those weather conditions, fish are success and are more alert, so you can catch it easier;)
