Sink blocked
Due to incessant flash rains it seems our street's gutter has been flooded. This has caused blockage in kitchen and laundry sinks
Anyone else in SE Melbourne facing the same?
Just wondering if its a common occurence in case of floods or its just me

Re: Sink blocked
No idea if it's common but I don't think I've seen thunder and rain this heavy and this long here before. Apparently it's the tail end of Yasi which shows how giant that storm was!

We haven't had anything in Brisbane so I think it unlikely that Yasi has avoided Brisbane and hit Melbourne. Must be some other system.

The worst hit areas overnight in Melbourne were in the southeast, with Lyndhurst receiving 175mm of rain and Dandenong 157mm.

Re: Sink blocked
If you look on the radar for Australia, it shows the tail of Yasi whipping Victoria's butt......not quite how they described it on the news last night but that's what it is apparently!
