Narre Warren SES members were kept busy as wild weather lashed Casey overnight on Tuesday 27 July.
Narre Warren SES controller Damian Burns said the unit received 25 calls up to midnight on Tuesday, with the first coming in at 6.11pm in Botanic Ridge.
After that, members traversed the entire City of Casey, attending jobs in Berwick, Lynbrook, Doveton and Cranbourne in quick succession.
Mr Burns said Harkaway, Endeavour Hills, Cranbourne and Cranbourne East were among the hardest hit.
Elevated areas that catch the wind were also the site of a few issues, he said.
The majority of the jobs were trees down on roads or properties.
Between midnight and mid-afternoon on Wednesday 28 July, a further 35 calls had been received, Mr Burns said, with crews busy in the morning as residents made “early morning discoveries” when they got up to leave for work.
A burst of rain in the morning also showed up a number of previously undiscovered roof leaks.
And amongst it all there was a burst water pipe on Berwick-Cranbourne Road to boot.
While the weather was certainly severe, he said it wasn’t as bad as the devastating storm that pummelled Victoria last month.
Ausnet reported a number of power outages around Casey, including in Harkaway and Narre Warren East.
However, it appeared that these had been cleared and power restored by early afternoon on Wednesday 28 July.
