Massive clean-up begins in south west Victoria, Once in a century storm’ floods parts of Victoria

Victoria’s south west is facing a mammoth clean-up this morning after a ‘once in a century’ storm lashed Geelong yesterday afternoon, bringing in more than one months’ worth of rainfall in just one hour. Residents and business owners are waking up to a muddy mess and roads strewn with debris following yesterday’s freak two hour storm, which left cars submerged and properties waterlogged.
Geelong Mayor Darryn Lyons told TODAY the storm was like “Armageddon had hit”, saying it was “extraordinary” no one lost their life in the wild weather. The storm cell developed over the surf coast and rolled through Geelong, pounding the city with a deluge of rain. More than double the months’ average rainfall was dumped on Avalon, which experienced 72mm of rainfall, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. The flash flooding prompted authorities to warn people to stay off the roads, with cars filmed floating down the main streets of Geelong.
