Driving home over the westgate bridge last night I saw the storm come though. As usual the traffic over the bridge was incredibly slow. From where I was sitting on the outbound rise of the bridge I could see the curve of the peak of the bridge to my right. I saw what looked like smoke coming from under the bridge. Next minute there was intense rain, lightning and thunder. What has appeared to be smoke would have been the intense rain being whipped around the bridge by the funnel of wind. By the time I got to the other side of the bridge I could see blue sky in between the white fluffy clouds. Wouldn’t have been raining for more than 5 mins or so but it was really heavy.
