What I'd give to push this thing a little more east. Looks awesome to be in! Happy to be sat on the sand in boardies and tee watching in May!
Strangely enough my Instagram just reminded me of on this day 2 years ago, same set up, intense light show over the bay!

Hillybilly (David), Blackee (Anthony) & me, 93ben (Ben) have taken over running the forum after the passing of Rivergirl (Robyn) last year . I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently in the progress of cleaning up and updating things after I was able to finally gain access to it. We will post more later.

It showed signs of rotation but never fully matured like the meso you spotted earlier. That early one was a clear rogue rotating meso.
BoM now got the pre-empt Severe thunderstorm and weather warnings. No choice really with this Jet stream powered outbreak. The speed at which some of these cells will appear and travel during the next 12 hours will be Incredible.

Long time no post....
Anyhooo, just wanted to report that we just got smashed by a cell. 200mm/hr rain rate. 22mm in short order. Gutters couldn't cope, lots of water in the sheds, and rivers running down the block. Too dark too see any other "damage"
I like rain, but maybe not all at once

Stawell's now over 50mm in little more than an hour!
Meanwhile, pleasantly surprised how well we've done given rain-shadowing probs we often have with systems from the north (we are about 15km south of the Divide). I think HB mentioned earlier that NW rain is worst for this; directly from the N may be better?

I don't think I've seen the sky so clear with that many stars visible in quite a few months now. No sign of rain at all down here. Not complaining though. It's been green the whole summer here

Jasmine, HB, Jake,
I've got a great vantage point down the beach this evening waiting for the lightning but any idea whether it's worth waiting or do you think it'll be like the early hours of the morning ?
