A four-year-old boy is one of three people who have died after wild winds swept across Melbourne, bringing down trees.
The boy suffered critical injuries after being hit by a falling tree in Blackburn South last night.
Police said the boy was taken to hospital where he later died.
A 59-year-old Tecoma man also died after a tree fell on his car in Belgrave yesterday.
The man was driving out of a shopping centre carpark when a tree fell and crushed the car shortly after 6:00pm.
A 36-year-old woman from Parkdale became the third fatality after a tree fell on a car in Fernshaw.
Police said the car was driving down the Maroondah Highway when it was hit by a falling tree at about 6:50pm.
The woman was sitting in the front passenger seat and died at the scene.
The driver, a 24-year-old Flinders man, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The deaths came during a night of intense storms in Melbourne and large areas of southern Victoria late on Thursday afternoon.
More than 95,000 properties suffered power outages.
Wind gusts as high as 124 kilometres per hour were recorded at Mount Gellibrand, east of Colac, and 100kph winds were recorded at Port Fairy, on the state's south-west coast.
