Storm clouds over Brisvegas

Just took this photo and the heavens have opened.

Awesome image! Hope you dont get too much hail out of them

Got a colour version?



Is that a goblin guarding your dome?

The wet season has certainly kicked in and time is running out to catch Comet Ison. :sadeyes:

Hope you and yours are all okay Allan; here is what it looked like for us.

Storm over Brisbane, 14th Nov 2013 - this is how it looked from our back garden at around 5:11pm and we were just on the N. edge of this system. These particularly angry looking clouds passed through with almost no rain, but produced gusty winds. The heavy rain came a few minutes later. No damage done to us fortunately – hope that others are all okay.

The greenish tinge was quite eerie and usually indicates hail, but not for us this time thankfully.

Cheers

Dennis

No hail at all but a deluge about 15 min later

like the rain, it's coming. I was fascinated by the heavy green section in these clouds. On the left Balinese terra cotta and on the left a limestone Balinese statue

Sure has and I don't think I'll see Ison this time round

great image as usual Dennis. So low over you whereas it was higher over us. Green and black/grey clouds, very spectacular. I'll see if I can get the colour into it.

Very dramatic, Allan! I'm in New York and missed it...

Great Pics Allan and Dennis,
Here's wife Wendy's Samsung camera shot as it approached the Logan Hyperdome. She had got her car undercover but it looked far more sinister than its bite, at least for us.
Hope everyone else fared well because as my bus turned out of the city at 5pm the sky was like I had never seen before. Everyone on the bus was taking photos and ringing home to get cars undercover.

looked an awesome storm - hard to tell if its a knome or Allan near the dome?

[allan gould]

Ominous looking clouds in that Peter. It's funny now that everyone has a camera in their mobiles how anything out of the ordinary will become public.


David
At least I can shut the door on my observatory without something popping out the top of the dome. :D

[h0ughy]

:rofl: i will raise my pier to that:lol:

What a whoppa storm front-its got that 'Independence Day' type of feel about it,likely this storm is the same as @PeterM's image,taken from roughly same area.

Exactly! And this is what has in a huge way buggered up the Flying Saucer "research" community ..... a massive increase of cameras/phones of very high quality in peoples hands should have led to a massive increase in photos/reports, but in fact it has gone in reverse.

A colour version of the original post. What got me was the green colour of part of the cloud and I was expecting massive amounts of hail, but nothing except rain.

[Dennis]

Wow – what a dramatic sight, lovely photo!:thumbsup:

Likewise with the green tinge Allan, we were expecting hail but when this particular part of the system passed overhead, all we experienced were strong, gusty winds. The heavy rain did not arrive until this stuff passed and the more monotone clouds followed through.

Cheers

Dennis
