Victorians were warned of potentially catastrophic conditions on Tuesday, February 13 and the combination of hot temperatures, wind gusts and lightning combined to create just that in some regions.

Fortunately, most of the Goulburn Valley escaped the worst of the conditions, but the wild weather did make its presence felt just the same.
