Ninja Storm

6:00 pm. A bright sunny afternoon, a few white clouds in the sky. A light wind, nothing too severe. Temperature at about 34 degrees C.

6:15 pm. "The Bureau of Meteorology has advised us of a major storm. Please close all your windows and stay indoors."

6:40 pm. Still bright and sunny, maybe a few grey clouds on the horizon.

6:50 pm. Thick black clouds immediately overhead, resembling a mass of angry charcoal scribbles.

7:00pm. Heavy rain, strong winds and significant loss of visibility. Temperature at 16 degrees C.

Melbourne weather is sneaky. Sneaky.
