A "very dangerous" thunderstorm battered parts of Melbourne with large hail, heavy rain and flash flooding warnings in place for some areas.
A severe warning was put in place for parts of Victoria by the Bureau of Meteorology on Friday but has since been cancelled.
People had been warned to stay inside as the "very dangerous" storm passed over the outer eastern suburbs of the city with heavy rainfall and "giant" hailstones expected.
"We did have some severe thunderstorms from 5 to 7pm over the eastern suburbs," the weather bureau's senior forecaster Michael Efron told AAP.
"There were really intense rainfalls in the outer east. There was also a lot of hail out of these thunderstorms," he said.
Images of social media show hail stones as large as 2cm falling in parts of the city.
In Box Hill up to 17mm fell in 15 minutes while 30mm fell in Blackburn South, 27mm in Mooroolbark and 26mm in Montrose during the storm period.
A flash flood warning remains in place for Brushy Creek at Mooroolbark and people nearby have been warned to stay indoors.
The State Emergency Services warned people not to drive or walk through flood waters.
"It only takes 15cm of water for a car to float," an SES spokeswoman told AAP.
She said in the past six hours there had been 47 call outs for help relating to the storm, with 18 reports of building damage and nine reports of flooding.
The most heavily-affected area was Chirnside Park with nine call outs.
