00:00Rivers in the city, water features in the suburbs and a warning area reaching from Melton
00:10to Montfagie.
00:12Melbourne's city, south east and inner north were initially in the eye of the system.
00:17Certainly was heavy rain and particularly heavy rain to fall in such a short space of
00:21time.
00:2225mm was dumped on Olympic Park in less than an hour, more than half of Melbourne's monthly
00:27average for January.
00:30Not everyone's feathers were ruffled with the summer deluge, but there was traffic chaos
00:35as motorists inched through floodwaters.
00:39Some public transport services were delayed.
00:4210,000 homes were left without power, the SES receiving more than 200 calls for assistance
00:48as the storm passed across the suburbs.
00:51Because it was moving through fairly quickly, we did not see any records set, but still
00:56a very wet day for the city.
00:59The cell tracking east to Gippsland, with sail copping more than 30mm.
01:04The storm cell hit with little warning, but was over just as quickly.
01:08It won't be the last of the wet weather though, with showers and thunderstorms forecast in
01:12Melbourne over the coming week.
