Coolangatta records 118mm to 6am with gusts in the 70 odd km/hr range - feels much stronger! We've been battered all night. The beach which is normally a long expanse of sand is all but gone, huge muddy looking waves thrashing the shore relentlessly. 6m waves were recorded at Surfers yesterday. A fe...

Meso, are you yelling at the tv like I am every time they say "mini" tornado? My family's laughing at me! Feeling for those in Lockyer Valley, especially Grantham. This must be bringing back dreadful memories :( Looks like its moving s bit quicker than predicted, could be over sooner than ...

Thanks Robyn <3. Meso much the same here, it's muggy, rainy and the shops are crazy because the tourists are bored! Woken this morning to stronger gusts, continuing steady moderate rain. Seas are wild though, I estimate about 3-4 meters? High tide currently and can see why there's warnings for beach...

Well, we're here on holidays on the Gold Coast, proving to be "interesting" with ex TC' heading our way looking to unload his burden and possibly throw in a tornado for good measure! Here's part of the SWW issued for our location: These conditions are expected to contract southwards into t...

I'll see your showers and thunderstorms and raise you an ex TC and a handful of tornadoes! Yes, we're on holidays in Queensland!

Thinking of you up there Apocalypse. Scary stuff happening to our neighbours

LOL that's sensational, cool present. Good job, Jake!

Yep, just noticed that too Geoff, it's trying to tell us there's a line of... something coming in from the NE moving SW? Odd. Just been out with the kiddies looking at Christmas lights, still pretty warm out this way. Jake, hope you're ok :) If I don't get on here in the next day or so, Merry Christ...

Yep, EC downgraded drastically, 7mm for our area for Saturday?

Yep, and Avalon's dropped approx 6 degrees in just 4 minutes. Melbourne city about to get a good downpour, nothing here yet except for some very strong wind gusts.

Wow, yes, the whole eastern part of the state has just exploded in the last few frames on radar!

Ah, glad someone's mentioned the cricket, we're spewing here! My son's best chance to have a good shot is this Saturday morning, he's been looking forward to playing this team, it's always a good match against them. Didn't get to have a hit last weekend, they were saving him for the middle order so ...

Would have loved to Shell, unfortunately I'm still having trouble walking upstairs, never mind doing anything else

But the good news is I've managed to stay out of hospital for over a month now - woohoo!

LOL @ crunchy, it sure is. Wind is picking up more here, gusting a bit stronger. Took icy poles down to the boys playing cricket, they were melting before you could unwrap them :sun: There does appear to be a little something popping up near Avoca now 8-) Edit: Fire in Heathcote, this wind change wi...

They fear "the big one", as if they haven't already been through enough

Too hot for cricket, ugh

Thanks RG ;) All good :D He is concerned about where it happened though: "Actually, got woken up by a quake this morning. Little one, across the bay. Stuff still moving about, but not the in right places, unfortunately. I would have preferred today's one to be further south (which would have me...

Sounds like all is reasonably well at the moment, Fukushima plant is ok, workers have evacuated to a stronghold within the plant. 1 metre waves felt in Myagi prefecture, less than that in other areas, but these are the initial waves, some larger ones may be on their way. This from my brother heading...
