Flood watch in northeast Victora as clean-up continues following wild weather in Melbourne A WOMAN has been rescued from floodwaters in northeast Victoria as the clean up continues in Melbourne after yesterday's wild weather. The SES had to use a boat to rescue the woman after her 4WD became trapped for an hour in floodwaters in Bandiana, near Wodonga, at 6am. The northeast region has received 50mm so far, and is on flood watch with more heavy rain forecast in the coming days. "It shows that no matter what the vehicle is, it is never save to drive or ride through floodwaters," SES spokesperson Toby Borella said. In this case the woman believed the water to be shallow and had to be rescued by boat. More than 413 calls for help were made to the SES after strong wind gusts up to 100km/h hit Melbourne overnight. Most of the calls were made after 5pm with 75 per cent to clear fallen trees. The worst hit suburbs included Mt Waverley, Oakleigh and Croydon, while a roof was blown off a garage in Reservoir.

Melbourne has received 7mm rain since 9am yesterday, with most recorded when the storm hit from 3.30pm to 5pm.
