I looked for some news about today's thunderstorm in Melbourne few hours ago but it still not updated. But now.. there are so many videos and photos because the storm. It said that the storm is one of the biggest and dangerous storm in Melbourne. The storm and hail cause flood in many places in Melbourne such as CBD, Flemington, Prahran, South Yarra, etc. Many public transports are stopped, cancelled and delayed because they can't run it. Furthermore, Southern Cross station is evacuated because the roof fell down and the rain came through the hole. Flinders Street station iand its subway are also flooded.

Melbourne airport was definitely affected because of the storm as there was no flight at that time. Some people also reported that there is no power in some areas like Dandenong, Airport West, Flemington, Preston and Belgrave. Moverover, many people are calling for emergency services until now. Even the danger has already passed, there are warning of storm continued in some places for the next 36 hours.

Lucky, I cancel my trip to city. Fiuhhh... I can't imagine what will happen to me if I'm in city that time. Even, in the news... they said "People who don't need to come into the city... We'd advise to stay at home." (The Age)

It's so unbelieveable. What a 10 minutes thunderstorm can bring a huge damage and chaos to Melbourne!

Melbourne...
For you who live in Melbourne, maybe you won't surprised with this city unusual weather. LOL!
Just like today, the weather channel said today will be a sunny day with min 19 degrees and max is 27 degrees Celsius. And it is so hot in morning until afternoon. When I went out for lunch with friends, it's so sunny and hot. Many people use short, tank top, sandals, thongs, etc. Just like summer outfits.

Then I got home around 2.30, my room was so hot. So I decided to open my window. But, at 3.10 it became cloudy and a little bit windy. So I guessed, rain will come soon. Not until 10 minutes after that, Melbourne was raining so hard accompanied by wind and hail. ckckckckckck... I was shocked because the sound so scary. Looked like thunderstorm was hitting Melbourne. 
From sunny hot day to windy rainy cold day plus hail !! What a perfect city! ;p

Hmmm... and I'm thinking about the Moomba Fest that is showing now, it will be no one there. And sorry for people who were there when the hail came, it must be hurt :(
Even it is still raining a bit until now. huhuhu... Make me don't want to go out from my room. But, I have to go to city soon. Huh... Hope there will be no more rain or hail when I am outside tonight.
