And it seems so pleasant at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thankfully I'm working inside today.

Re: Our Turn! Severe weather warning for Melbourne
Looking at the radar seems like we had that really dark area come right over the top of us....looks like a second wave coming in behind as well.
My OH is working at Melbourne Central and reckons its partly flooded and the lights are off and half the customers are helping themselves!
Take care!
