Evening all. I wanted to get online earlier, but between pure exhaustion, and an out of action broadband, I didn't have a hope. I'm now using the old dial up from my old computer. I thought the 2 inches we had at 1.30pm was impressive. But, from about 2.00pm to about 6.00pm, we broke all records here in Sunraysia. My niece lives next door to the Mildura Airport and registered 4 inches total. My eldest brother at Koorlong registered 6 inches, and here in East Red Cliffs, we received a massive total of 10 and a half inches (268.478mm, from 1.30pm to 6.00pm). I'm glad one of my neighbours, was there as I measured the last 3 inches, or I wouldn't have believed it myself. I did manage to take some pics & video of the incoming storm at 1.30, and I'll try and upload it in a moment. You only had to see it to know there was something frightening on the way. My neighbour and I across the road, hold it up there with the tornado we had in the late 70s. My next door neighbour has flooding in the house and water from her side has blown through the fence, into my place. We now realise there was an air pocket around the sewerage pipe, as the ground collapsed as I lifted my foot, after walking over it. The ground is so saturated at the fence line, I sank to my chest in the soil. Now I understand what quicksand is like. I had to use the fence post to pull myself up. Never been so scared in my life. I just hope we don't get anymore. Enough is Enough, we think.
