As if the summer bushfires, the pandemic lockdown and a blast of snowy weather a month ago haven't been enough, Mother Nature gave the Upper Murray another back-hander this afternoon. A vicious storm cell swept through Corryong bringing heavy rainfall and hailstones and ripping branches from trees around town.
Hardest hit was the former primary school site on Towong Road where a large pine was ripped from the ground, knocking down powerlines and closing the road. Several trees were also uprooted on the local golf course.
The storm then barrelled through the Biggara Valley, tearing trees down and causing damage to the new CFA station where the front door was peeled off its frame.
