Wow we've just had 29mm of rain in 20 minutes. It wasn't fun to drive through. Glad we have a 4 wheel drive!!

I'm so glad you are safe. Even with a 4 wheel drive vehicle, rushing water is dangerous. I hope all are safe and there is no damage.

Haven't been out today, think there is quite a mess to clean up. One very large park close to town was turned into a swimming pool.

Lots of flash flooding, clean up today. These pictures were taken about 10 minutes from home, I was trying to get my daughter to work. Took us almost an hour to get there usually only takes 10 to 15 minutes (depending on how many red lights we get.) Rain was that heavy we couldn't even see the lights until we were almost at them.

"Mother Nature" seems to be showing everyone who's boss in these pictures - glad you are o.k. & hope any flash flooding disappears quickly.
Thanks for sharing your amazing experience.

Hi Cindy, yes, it was all over the news last night. We had a storm like that up here in Newcastle a few weeks ago, but still nowhere near the level of rain that Geelong got. Hope you are all safe and dry now. Love C

We are all safe and dry. We are not in the area that flooded, but my daughter and I were out in the car when it started. It took us almost an hour to drive what should have taken about 15mins. The roads we were on all turned into lakes. Very slow going.

A lot of rain watching on sunrise yesterday morning, lucky you've got that four wheel drive.
