Lightning starts new bushfires in Grampians
The Bureau of Meteorology says thunderstorms moving across Victoria have produced lightning which has sparked new bushfires in the Grampians.
Forecaster Phil King says unfortunately the storms are not producing much rain.
"The top fall I can see at the moment is 4 mm at Pound Creek in South Gippsland. Generally one one or two millimetres of rain," he said
. . .
The fires in Gippsland were so intense yesterday that they formed their own thunderstorms, with microbursts of intense winds.
