The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the North Central forecast district.

• This Advice replaces the Advice issued at 6.18pm on Sunday 9th February.

• Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next several hours.

Be aware of potential hazards caused by the severe thunderstorm, including floodwater, trees down, fallen power lines and debris.

What you should do:
• Large hail is expected. Stay inside and away from windows.
• Be prepared for flash flooding.
• Park your car undercover and away from trees.
• Stay inside if conditions outside appear dangerous.
• Contact family members and neighbours to ensure they are aware of the situation, if safe to do so.

If you are driving:
• Drive slowly, obey all road signs and never drive through floodwater.
• If driving conditions are dangerous, safely pull over away from trees, drains, low lying areas and floodwater.
• Be aware of road hazards such as mud, debris and damaged roads or bridges.
• For road closure information, check the VicTraffic website, contact your local council or call VicRoads (13 11 70).

Now
Reminds us
Haunts us

Good Evening Community!
I have noticed on a lot of our community pages some concern about the fire that popped up at Fernshaw.
It’s good to see so many people have downloaded the vic emergency app and are sharing it around to inform the community.

We can advise that there is a tree on fire which was noticed by the Parks Crews which appears to be the result of a lightning strike two days ago.
The wonderful crews of Forest Fire Management are currently dealing with this and have been assisted by the Helitak stationed at Maroondah Dam.

They do not expect to require any further assistance.

Congratulations to all that have downloaded the app and have shared it far and wide!

Stay safe all!
