Watch: Basketball hoop goes for a fast break during powerful thunderstorm

 Melbourne is the capital of the Australian state of Victoria. During El Niño events, the continent typically sees hot and dry weather during the summer, but for some parts of the country it has been anything but.

   Video captured by an Australian home security camera shows a basketball hoop being circled during high winds outside Melbourne on Tuesday.

The incident unfolded outside Amanda Beatty's home during one of the latest rounds of hurricanes to hit the Southeast coast.

The county's Bureau of Meteorology has warned of heavy rain on the south coast and issued a severe hurricane warning as Hurricane Victoria moves through with damaging winds.

"At work I got a call from my son saying the basketball ring was in the middle of the street. Then I checked my home security camera to see how it got there," Beatty told Storyful.

Once the dangerous winds passed, the family presumably rolled the portable basketball goal back into its place on the driveway.

Not all Australians were as lucky as the Beattie family, as the Australian Energy Market Operator reported that at least 530,000 homes and businesses lost power during the storm.

In a statement from AEMO, operators said most properties' utilities were restored within 24 hours after the severe weather, but in some cases, it could take a week to restore power to all storm victims.

AEMO said, "It is estimated that the strong winds and fallen trees have damaged hundreds of power lines and power poles. Network crews are facing challenging weather conditions, with fallen trees and damaged power lines and critical energy infrastructure. "Are facing problems with access to repairs."

During El Niño events, the continent typically sees hot and dry weather during the summer, but for some parts of the country it has been anything but.

A spell of rain, including heavy storms, has affected parts of the southern and eastern coasts.

The Insurance Council of Australia estimated that the storms around Christmas and New Year and the impacts of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper caused at least $500 million in losses in US currency.

Meteorological summer in the Southern Hemisphere runs from December 1 to late February.
