[AusNOG] DC Flooded in Melbourne?

[Kai]

Was chatting to a mate in Melb about four hours ago, she's near 
Healesville and they were getting hammered.

Melbourne radar showed small but heavy storms embedded in stratus 
clouds, with upper air temperatures dropping to approx -40 in some 
places, that's probly where your hail came from.

Melbourne radar (http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml#skip) 
shows there's still rain about but it's mostly East and West of the city.

Looks like there's more coming...

Unfortunately I didn't check the doppler radar at the time...
