"The streets are deserted. An eerie silence hangs over the suburbs.

More than half a million households have lost power, trains are being
cancelled, some rail lines have buckled.

Residents are sheltering in their homes, the blinds drawn. Hundreds of people
will die, quietly, behind closed doors.

This is not the start of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Actually, it’s Melbourne in 2009."

Cheers,
