Sucks to be on public transport atm.

Hooray for motorbike. If the wind dies down Ill even be able to ride it in straight line.

[Gunns]

This has to happen the one day I drive into work and take the weatgate!

[[Sterling]]

i got detoured 3 times going home today due to tree's and power line's down

there's a train that goes to frankston

[Eb Barbie]

there's a train that goes to frankston

Yep and a whole station there too! Lol

Apparently a house in mornington caught on fire after a power line falling on it. Out of all of the days to park under a tree, I picked today to. So I went and moved my car before just incase.

I drove past a number of carparks at Mooroolbark station that were empty when the rest was all tightly packed. I was all WTFing and thinking I was lucky then remembered the weather warnings for today and looked up - massive fk off gum trees.

I parked away from them,.

On the way home I saw a guy on a CBR leaning into the wind.

If I could feel my car being unbalanced by the wind, must've been "fun" on a bike.

[spope]

Windy weather is interesting.
Our neighbours tree has managed to punch a big hole in our fence and deposit itself on our driveway. A tad inconvenient. It's all good though, they already rang their insurance company.

PT blows. Working in the suburbs FTW. Been there done that. That's some pretty major delays. All our delivery drivers were all messed up today cause they stopped vans from going over the westgate.

[smokin ef]

you should have seen the dust storm we got here in mildura!!!
we were chillin on the roof at the job site 2day and we were watchin it roll in... it was crazy, then the big **** off dust cloud hit... then it was a mad scramble 2 get off the roof before i was blown off... at the worst stage i couldnt even see the sun it was that thick!! anyway thats my story

[Stengord]

Public transport sucks
So do trees

I remember back in june we ended up having a coal freighter, big **** off boat, beach itself...
Top shit

[braiden]

We here in Ballarat copped that dust as well as rain. I happened to walk outside and discover my car looking like I had just been bush bashing in it.

[Dansedgli]

Im home. wind wasnt that bad, Ive ridden in worse.

My old man parked in a different spot away from the trees, and managed to get a big **** off gum tree right smack bang down the middle of his less than 6 month old Aurion, pretty fucky nasty! Cars on either side were untouched lol

[G3R3N]

There was about a 3 or 4km stretch where traffic lights were off entirely. lol it was pretty funny trying to watch people negotiate intersections among themselves at 5pm in Bundoora. There were cops at some, not at others.
All the way from Lower Heidelberg rd to almost Whitehorse rd, no traffic lights.
And 2 of my mates ended up in Hospital cos they stacked their cars, fkn idiots

[old_mate]

up here they were telling stories of melbournians getting lifted off their feet and shit due to the wind. I lol'd

[Dansedgli]

I saw this bitch fly past my window at work and took a snap.

Weather was shit today but this is my story attending funeral in melb

Miss Train - Good thing me thinks as we replaced by bus's (I live in Albury NSW)

Drive to Melb, Get to Mobil at toolarook, dont even get out of the on ramp and to 80km/h and get pulled over "Randomly" But the copper was having some standing issues in the wind.

Get to Melb, Sydney road fked with road works

Get to Preston, was ok

Get back to cemetry wind gets right up, Priest ends up on his ass, nearly in the same hole as the coffin.

Decide to drive to North Fitzroy for wake, my old man gets taken out by a van 2secs behind me, hes ok, just a dint. No Lights on Niclson Rd. Van had NFI what to do without Red, Yellow, Green Lights

Decide to drive to Eltham, All traffic lights ok until Doncaster. Just get past Doncaster shopping center, slow down for major intersection where BMW is turning right, it just starts to turn and a kid in a VX Calais ploughs into it, I would say 50-60KM an hour, Calais fukd so BMW, sorry no pics. I was gunna stop but there was already 10 people out of cars by the time I got over the shock.

Get to Eltham, all ok there, but decide to come back to Albury, go to go across to Diamond Creek but there is a train in the middle of the crossing not moving, so I turn left, to realise that there is at least 3 trains not moving, had to do a massive detour to the bottom of the Wring Road, and the cops are down there, Cops yelled at me for not going fast enough through intersection :S

Oh Fun day.

[LTDHO]

I always drive in.

It didn't take that much longer than usual.

It sucks to all on public transport.

[EDFalcon]

My gate at the top of my driveway ended up in the middle of my street (30m). I got dragged when i tried to pull it back to the backyard. On the way to work I was looking at a cop who parked his car on a downed fence to stop it blowing onto ferntree gully road then looked up to see a big gum tree branch flying towards me. Missed it, cop came over to see if i was ok and we dragged it off the road. My work lost the supports they had layed for solar panels off the roof as well.

[Eb Barbie]

Driving home everything was a mess! Traffic lights were out almost all the way from Mt Eliza to Langwarrin. (Thats alot of traffic lights!) Cops were patroling 2 of the biggest intersections which lead on/off the freeway but the others werent patrolled at all and were crazy and so dangerous!

Got home to neighbours garage tin roof flapping around and neighbour 2 doors up had their gum tree fall on their fence. Lucky their dog stayed put.

[fordbaby]

the weather was so crazy yesterday. we got sent home from work because we got damage done to our business. we had no power for about 8 hours, there were tress everywhere, i couldnt get down some streets due to trees fallin, i mean huge trees. well we finally got rid of the tree out the front of my house too.

im glad i dont have far to travel for work, let alone get public transport

[Sunboost]

I got home close to 8pm

Would've been later if a cousin didn't give me a lift from Box Hill.

Trams are the most useless form of transport in Australia.

Frost mang your stories are almost too hectic to believe most of the time.

[EBOOST]

cheers josh.

[Bomber]

yeah my gun tree in the backyard fell down due to the wind.

Not much to tell down this way a few random trees down here and there sounded like some one was throwing rocks at the windows tho

[Gunns]

sounded like some one was throwing rocks at the windows tho

Sorry that was me

[91eb40]

I did...but not for work. I went into the city at around 5pm, and it wasn't so bad. Still daytime though. On the way back though, there was a stranded taxi crossed over the middle lane of Princess Hwy near Caufield station, and all of the power for that station was out. I lucked out, I was home for the majority of the storm. I did see heaps of powerlines and fallen trees today though.

Although today on the drive back home from Ringwood, some idiot cockface in a black E-Series was too busy speeding and sliding in the rain behind me, and when I was waiting for the traffic to clear so I can turn into my road, the retard slams on his brakes and nearly rear-ends me (with his horn blaring), screams profanities, and proceeds to drive on the grass next to me to continue screaming at me.

He had 3 children in the backseat too. I really hate people like that -seemed like the type that tried to take advantage of me just 'cause I'm still on L plates. So many idiots on the road in wet weather...

[Steady]

It was awesome for me, north bound western ringy was empty, cause no cnt was coming across the westgate
Got a mad run home.

[naz0]

It took me 2 hours and 45 mins to get from Oakleigh to Campbellfield, it was chaos!
