Sad state of affairs. Not overly familiar with YMMB, but at almost the same time, a PA30 was going YMMB to King Island, and asked for a SVFR clearance, but flightaware showed that he didn't make it very far past the coast, turning around and taking quite a circuitous route to get back to YMMB, landing at 1232 local. So there were people trying and turning back. My condolences.
