MELBOURNE, January 26.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Accompanied by vivid lightning and terrific thunder a tropical storm burst over the city to-day. From 2.30 p.m. to 8 p.m. 126 points of rain had fallen in two short, but terrific downpours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The rain was so heavy down the light well at Foy and Gibson’s drapery store in Swanson-street that it burst the heavy plate glass doors and flooded the men’s wear department with 6ft. of water.<\/div>\n
The stock in other emporiums was also damaged by water flowing in from flooded streets.<\/div>\n
At Young and Jackson’s Hotel bar drinkers had to stand with both feet on the bar rails to avoid<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
8in. of water.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Train travellers were not allowed to use the station subway, as it was flooded with 3ft. of water.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Lightning caused the partial failure of the electric light in the suburbs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
The storm was so severe at Bendigo that an electric tram ran oft the line which was silted up with heavy hail.<\/div>\n
Heavy fogs continued along the coast to-day, causing much delay to shipping.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
