Shout out to SES, tree crews, powerline workers and everyone else who was hammered by the storms yesterday and are continuing the cleanup today. With special thanks to the cop directing traffic on Burwood Hwy/Springvale Rd in peak hour yesterday. Trying to control that many cars must be a nightmare!

I could never be a powerline worker. Electricity is scary :(
