Wow that's cool Ken....

I was just about to post a few pics of the storm front that just
came through here an hour ago.
Some of the scariest cloud I think I have seen in quite a while.
Included is one of my partner reprimanding me for letting the
clothes on the line get wet. The look on her face was about
10 on the Beaufort Scale.

slowed down a bit now, but still looking good

Storm is too wide to fit into the FOV of this Toucam

Great pics Steve.

Lucky buggers in Mildura are getting their 3rd night of storms in a row.

Give Melbourne some now!

It's on its way. It is here now in a BIG way
Black circle is my location.

But look at what is coming down from South Australia.
No wonder we have a DANGER warning for early morning and throughout the day!
Even got a Warning message on my CFA beeper for 100mm rain falling in the space of about 3 hours during Wednesday!
Gonna be a big Wednesday!

I'd Kill to be in Renmark or Mildura right now. Been to Renmark 3 times, only to be greeted with days of 35-40C weather and no clouds.....

sweet. It's hot and humid here atm, cicadas are going mental. Drove from work at Waverley Gardens shopping centre to home in Berwick just after midnight and all I could hear were cicadas along th entire 20km journey. Something's gotta give. C'mon Mildura, give your fun to us now please !!

Mildura is already nearly on 120mm of rain for December.... which is over 5 times their Dec average delivered in just a week, most of it from storms!

Great pics Steve, looks like it was a doozy! Brisbane has been rather lacking in storms so far this summer.

Hope you got through the night ok Ken.
It's certainly looking a bit more severe now down there
in VIC.
