We just got hit by a strong storm front. Wild winds, lightning strikes, heavy rain - made me think I was in Qld! :scared:

[desler]

Wow, haven't seen rain like this since the last Queensland Holiday. Drains are struggling!!!!!

[DavidU]

Just got it here. It's a beauty !

[Waxing_Gibbous]

Wind direction?
Could be here by 6 o'clock. Better NOT light the bonfire - its masive!
Thanks for the heads-up.

It's here in springvale at the moment - ... nice - gutters overflowing on the work building, drains not coping - nice lightning show.

We are going to cop a second one in about 30 minutes.

Sorry Guy's, my fault I just ordered another scope. But only just ordered it.

[Waxing_Gibbous]

No no no.
Its my fault Hagar. Just got a new EP & filter.
Mea culpa.
14mm in 4 minutes here.
Sorry.:shrug:

Got slammed at work today, awesome cloud structure, lots of close lightning strikes :D Had some thunder in the morning aswell.

[Waxing_Gibbous]

Just passed us about an hour ago 23.5mm. Lovely. Washed all the dust out of the air. However: we now have a plague of frogs. I mean they're all over the place. Stuck to the windows, in the living room and kitchen, cars' covered in them. Pets won't go outside. And the noise!!! God have mercy, I can't hear the voices in my head they're so loud!!!
Like that '70's horror flick.
They're only tiny, but Holy **** there's millions of 'em.
SOB!!!! One just jumped on my screen! Now he's gone.
I think we need some starving ducks.

Maybe they taste good with Ketchup.
