The worst tropical storm to hit Melbourne in over 100 years.
On Saturday 6th March 2010, Melbourne was hit by the worst tropical sotrm they had experienced in over 100 years. It started with a hail storm, with hail 12cm across (the size of lemons) followed by torrential rain. $millions of damage was caused and many of the cities streets were flooded causing chaos to transport. Whilst they were glad of the water in this drought stricken land, it seems yet further evidence of the impact of climate change which is resulting in more severe weather in many areas.
