Nice shots.
Thanx Lewis, Shame it lossed intensity as it was quite epic through 'Storm Alley' into Briz, It was moving fast which will effect its duration !
Seen some nice photo's from others on the Sth Side Briz when the Front was at its peak ! There is another trough due next weekend, but not with as much Instability ? ? Long way out yet, might improve ? ?

Good to hear you experienced the brunt of it Astro Bot,, I think, Personally I would have luved it, 50,000 with out power from it, Black-pout are coool hope you faired well !

Cheers Derek, The Goldy missed the epic stuff also ! There was a 'Right Mover' go out to sea between Tweed/Byron area, but was travelling to fast to chase! Would have been some consolation to see the Sunset with the main activity ,, Did you grab some photo's ?
