URGENT Reminder: Never drive through floodwater. Floodwater is dangerous and it can take just 15cm of flowing water to float a car.
Fortunately, no-one was trapped in this car which was floating down Bairnsdale-Dargo Road near Lindenow.
Always stay Informed with @VicEmergency!

Yesterday's 16cm hail in Yalboroo, Queensland is a new Australian record. The previous record was 14cm, observed in south-east Qld last year. The atmosphere was extremely unstable, which allowed hail to continue growing before gravity forced it to the ground.

[Sascha Rundle @sascharundle]

Prepare for the coming months: with an increased risk of floods in eastern & northern Aust, # of cyclones slightly above average and normal risk of fires, heatwaves & storms in most areas.

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]
