Melbourne Floods from Cyclone Yasi

Melbourne got hit by a mega storm Friday night from Cyclone Yasi which hit south of Cairns, Queensland 3000km away. It caused mass flooding (knee high in places) and mass traffic chaos. This kinda thing seems to happen about once a year... or was the last one just last winter? Weird that its Summer right now...WTF. This was around St Kilda Rd. In Richmond not too far away, the newspaper is saying it was waist deep. Cars were floating in floodwaters. Widespread flooding across the state.
