Finally got through processing all my photo and video from the November storm madness here in QLD!

Hey guys, long time no talk. Thought I'd pop in and share some shots from this weekends storm chase. The chase was almost derailed before it really begun, when we came across this on one of the deserted country roads up here... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8137/10225905345_de26c75608_b.jpg Poor blo...
Yeah, all good here too. Just heaps of rain and wind. Haven't lost power or anything, barely even a few puddles around now. Only concern is whether I'll be able to get to work in the morning, with some flooding reported around where I work.
Yeah, the rain seems to be easing, but wind is as strong as its been all day here - gusting up around 90-100km/h. And yes, the m word has been driving me nuts. You'd think this whole thing would prove to people that there is nothing 'mini' about even a low end tornado. I could go on with a long rant...
Yeah, lovin it up here, Robyn! Dunno if I'll ever be back haha.
Just cracked 90mm here for the day, added to the 84mm we've had over the previous two days gives us 174mm for the event. Easily the most rain I've ever seen live.
And Sunday. Lingering instability was predicted to set off more severe storms and the day didnt disappoint. Unfortunately, I had plenty of other things to do and it wasn't til about 4pm that I could get out for a look. Thankfully a nice severe cell was making its way up from the south at the perfect...
Better late than never! My pics from last wknd, my first real big QLD setup. The feel throughout the day was great with numerous storms around, we even landed ourselves in an accidental core punch early in the morning on the way out to our target area lol. Just wish I could have got in better positi...
Looks I will get my first taste of real Queensland storms this weekend, with all the ingredients finally coming together for a big storm event! Saturday... http://forecasts.bsch.com.au/tmp/stormcast_init-2012111506z_fcst-2012111706z_li_sqld__.png Sunday... http://forecasts.bsch.com.au/tmp/stormcast_...
Some recent additions to the collection... Stumbled across a nice little waterfall on the drive up to QLD from Victoria. The flow was a bit sucky, but still quite a nice spot. Hickeys Falls, located 42 km south-west of Coonabarabran in NSW... http://www.redsevenphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/gal...
Well after driving over 500km's on Friday without much luck, I was finally about to intercept my first decent QLD storm yesterday! We had a trough move through after a warm start to the day, leading to some unstable weather. Unfortunatley, as I'm learning, moisture is a bit of limiting factor at thi...
Cheers, Lily! Well, the good news is we made it here after three days driving, the bad news is removalists have stuffed us around and furniture wont be here til Sunday! So we are roughing it for the next few days. Note to anyone moving - don't take the backloading option! But the real good news is, ...
Pretty uneventful day here, few intense wind gusts and turbulent clouds passing overhead about 4:30, before it cleared briefly then ramped up again with a 30 sec hail shower (tiny stuff) and that was it. Would have loved to have been up in ne NSW today with that massive line ploughing through.
Hey bm, we will be living in Springfield, about 25-30 mins from the cbd. Were putting our house in a shipping container on Monday and hoping to meet it up there by the end of the week (got an 18 hour drive to look fwd to!). All very exciting, but kinda stressful at the same time. I have a good vibe ...
