Saturday 31st of August 9a.m. Windy and cold. 33.3 / 42.6kph WNW, Hg 40%, 17.9C / 64.2F top of 23C / 73F. Sunny. Marine wind + severe wind warnings, easing this afternoon.
Moon is 9.2%
About 12 houses had the abnormally high tide running through them, and most sheds had their contents destroyed.
A drowning cat was freed from underneath a house and has been in hiding since, while remnants of firewood piles are scattered throughout the streets.
Nearby, Wilson's Promontory recorded wind gusts of up to 154 kilometres that night.
This is the highest tide the community has witnessed, but some have seen smaller surges in 2018 and 1980.
But with more wild weather on the way, they're bracing for the possibility of it happening again.
Brian Friend had just finished renovating his period-style home and his new Axminster carpet bore the brunt of the tide.
"We've just bought new beds, new appliances, new everything and it's all had it now," Mr Friend said.
Winds shook the house, also causing paintings to crash on the floor.
The warning for high tides will remain in place until Monday and the Bureau of Meteorology told the ABC it's "a good chance" low-lying towns like Manns Beach could be inundated again.

Some people grind the beans into a flour and bake with it. I haven't tried that yet. We usually rake up the fallen pods quickly because squirrels eat them and we have a squirrel problem. The main use of the tree right now is shade for the chicken pen. I've been carefully pruning it the past few years to get it to grow upward and spread out the canopy more. The chickens like the leaves so I pick those for them but I'm careful to avoid those awful thorns!
