Hi Astro-liano's

Most peeps in NENSW & SEQLD would remember this day well.
I had some failing storm chases the previous week or so, mainly due to the Northerly dry slot riding southward across the face of the trough & up untill this day, I had covered some 1500ks, hurts my pocket somewhat, tho by Thurs the trough neared the coast & was being directly influenced by the very saturated easterly onshore inflow, upper level steering winds were also very favourable, so I finally got lucky with picking a spot for this Thursday the 14th.
The storm day proved well to build into a huge long Wall/Shelf/Guster from Byron Bay to near the Sunny Coast, approx 200ks distance, give-take 20-30.
I chose to await the potential Stormage from the well known Tweed Heads Point Danger Lookout. About an hour beforehand I wait in wonder, it's not going to happen, hence 'patience is a virtue' & only 25k from home !
