Fuck I filled 4 buckets of water from my bedroom.

I saw one massive tree up rooted in the park near the museum next to Nicholson st Carlton. It was huge, one of the bigger trees in that park.

...being Trailer_trash, you'll all understand that I had a rough nite and got little sleep. A rather large tree fell between the house and the fence... that made a fair bit of noise...which was nice at 3am.

a tree fell on my friends merc =(

a tree also fell next to my car over a fence, if it had fallen the other way it woulda fallen right on top. my outside table umbrella got blown away too =(

apart from that ... road is littered with tree branches, and if you've seen the beach ... its mayhem.

I woke to find a tree fall down, were i normally park my car. The unfortunate thing is its the first time in years i hadn't parked there as its getting its transmission fixed, would of liked a new spray job. My street was chaos, lots of trees down, police, lumbers etc, etc.

Forecast today is that the Yarra is gonna go up another 5 feet, considering Platform One is right beside it and the Yarra is pretty much already full, next time we do a gig at the club it might be the first underwater DnB gig in history.....

I thought the first underwater dnb gig was the night of the doco screening there followed by the Guerilla bwoys.
