While Tuesday’s storm impacted most of Greater Shepparton and its surrounds, Euroa received the worst of the weather on Wednesday night.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Euroa and Seymour at 8.45pm on Wednesday.
It said severe thunderstorms were likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding, damaging winds and large hailstones over the following several hours.
The severe weather hit about an hour later, with intense rainfall lasting only 15-30 minutes.
But that was more than enough time to do damage.
Vic Emergency had recorded 25mm of rainfall through to 10.12pm, exacerbating conditions following Tuesday’s storm.
Euroa SES unit controller Georgie Cardillo said the intense rain and wind felt like a cyclone had hit the town.
“The sky was lit up the whole time, there was so much lightning,” she said.
“More power lines are down in town and trees down on the freeway.
“A number of members’ houses also got impacted, so we have been trying to help those this morning,” she said on Thursday.
Ms Cardillo said most call-outs the SES had received involved leaky ceilings and light fittings.
She said Euroa also saw flash flooding across town.
Howitt Ave was so flooded SES had to shut it off due to safety concerns.
Vic Emergency said Thursday morning’s minor flooding peaked in Euroa during the early hours and as at early Thursday afternoon had fallen below the minor flood level.
The Seven Creeks at Euroa peaked at 3.21m about 4am on Thursday and, as of noon on Thursday, was at 2.33m and falling.
No significant rainfall is forecast for the next few days.
