FoodWorks manager Ben Duffy said there was "an extreme bang then the roof went." The damage caused by the storm in Melbourne has left FoodWorks in Sunbury, a bit worse for wear. Mr Duffy expects the damage bill to exceed $50,000. "I know people always say this but I have never seen anything like it before," he said. I couldn't see three feet in front of me, the car park flooded, water was half way up my car. Shoppers and staff were evacuated ten minutes before part of the roof fell in.

Sunbury had 30mm of rain in twenty minutes. These storms are producing some really heavy rain that will continue throughout the night.
