[AusNOG] DC Flooded in Melbourne?

[Roddy Strachan]

Yes it was pretty full on, where I live we copped a bit of it, but no where
near as much as the CBD and eastern suburbs.

1. Crown Casino was evacuated due to flooding.
2. Etihad stadium had a roof collapse due to rain and hail and flooded one
of the bars inside.
3. Domain tunnel had a sludge of ice running through it and some cars got
stuck in there.
4. The inner CBD, trams came to a halt, cars got flooded, trains were off
the air.

I had a friend whos car got damaged with the hail and house windows smashed
due to the force of them.

All in all a very destructive storm, I'm just surprised no more data centres
got affected by it.
