Emergency services have been inundated with calls for help on Friday morning after 100km/h winds tore through Melbourne, killing three people, leaving 50,000 homes and businesses without power and 88 suburbs with undrinkable water.

The Bureau of Meteorology said winds of more than 100km/h were recorded in the southern parts of the state between 5pm and 6pm, peaking at 150km/h in Wilsons Promontory.

Winds between 90-100km/h were recorded across Mount Evelyn, Belgrave, Croydon and Lilydale after 4pm on Thursday.

More than a dozen fallen trees have caused carnage on Kaola St in Belgrave, leaving locals without power due to damaged power lines.
