Thousands Evacuated In Melbourne And Regional Vic After Heavy Rainfall And The Pics Are Scary

Floodwaters have forced thousands to evacuate their homes in parts of suburban Melbourne and regional Victoria on Friday morning after heavy rain overnight. The rain has stopped but floodwaters continue to rise. A number of low-lying streets near the west bank of the Maribrynong River in the inner-city Melbourne suburb of Maribyrnong flooded on Friday and about 30 homes were ordered to evacuate at about 5am. The first images of the suburb at sunrise showed a number of homes partly submerged and the river overflowing.

The Goulburn River peaked at 8.26m overnight, and the town centre is underwater this morning. That flood level has broken the record set back in 1974. Chatting to @AusTodayListnr and @StevePriceMedia from my home town later this morning. pic.twitter.com/To4JjBRnLZ
