WILD NIGHT IN VALLEY EMERGENCY services crews were kept busy after a wild storm lashed the Latrobe Valley on Thursday night. Strong winds, lightning, thunder and hail arrived with the cold front which tore through the region about 6pm. The State Emergency Service (SES) responded to 19 incidents in Moe and six in Morwell, while a number of other parts of the Valley were impacted. SES operations manager Craig Hooper said it was fortunate there were no serious injuries recorded.
