man the lifeboats

This would be the perfect time to go fishing. Just put the boat on the street and just watch it float away. That's the conditions that Melbourne is currently facing right at this very moment. With a very deep low that is centred over most of Melbourne and Victoria bringing flash flooding and gale force winds it's enough to have Cyclonic conditions up in the northern and north western part of the country, but this particular low is due to continue it's current course till Friday.

With temperatures reaching nearly 37 degrees on Tuesday before lunchtime and into the early afternoon, summer turned to winter in just a matter of moments. From seeing the sight of people wearing shorts to a look of winter where people like myself were wearing overcoats was just the tip of the iceberg on the conditions that Melbourne was yet to face the next coming days.

Thursday will be the biggest test so far for Melbourne. Conditions on the road will be extremely dangerous with water over many roads and many people who are not experienced in driving in such hazardous conditions. Conditions like this are perfect for the water catchment areas which are receiving a far amount of water. As the weekend approaches, Melbourne will be mopping up the mess that has been caused by the big wet. It would be most unwise at this stage to abandon ship.
