Sorry for the delayed report.

While heading towards Melbourne city into Monday evenings storm I passed 6
Needletails heading in the opposite direction (east) along Boronia road. Far
more sensible an approach to survival than ours. The storm raised 100kph
winds and blew down trees literally across the road as we drove. The swifts
were obviously fleeing the storm front - and not a moment too soon either!

Regards,

Simon.
