Bad weather in Melbourne

100 km/h...That was the speed of the wind in Melbourne today. Large trees were uprooted and tram lines were affected by the terrible weather. At about 7.00 am this morning, a worker was killed after a building frame collapsed on him due to the strong wind. This was followed by a tragic pedestrian incident which occured just after 2.00 pm at Mentone when a wall crashed down, taking the live of a woman who was walking through that lane.
I really do not know what has become of Melbourne's weather lately. A drought took place just three weeks ago (causing bush fires and heat wave) and now this. I mourn for lives lost on this tragic day and pray for a better tomorrow.
