The difference between here and say for example tornado alley in the US is that tornado's are a regular occurrence over there, therefore they can use previous data to predict possible scenarios. We just don't have as many here, we don't have the data to therefore make reliable predictions, and to m...

Wow wansn't expecting it to be very windy today! I was, had been checking the shear setup several days out and it has gotta be one of the best I've ever seen here but the big problem was we had no instability to support it. This is F4 - F5 tornado material right here http://forecasts.bsch.com.au/tm...

Pretty much a non event here as far as storms go, nothing but some decent wind gusts from the change and some of the crappiest structure I've seen lol

They are pretty much garbage cells that pulse and fall apart and repeat along the SW wind change

long time no speak, we had no warning either just a flang out of the blue!!! Then a few long ripping cracklers 8-) This was that flang from the cell that developed almost on top of us, I was about to head out until all these cells got going ahead of the main lot. Taken at 35mm and only got a small ...

Anyone have a heap of bugs in the air? just took this shot and it's thick of them here

4 shot pano taken at 10mm from Cardinia before it started poring

Posted this on FB not long ago Well thats the best local chase of the season so far lol (unexpected given the conditions), had the shelf cloud almost on top of me the whole way and managed to get in front of it to the ENE for 5 minutes at Cardinia. Looked to have some hail in it for a bit while driv...

Haven't posted anything for awhile as this year has been pretty dead as far as storms go and cup day ended up being disappointing in S NSW with the weakening trough, took this shot of the solar eclipse with no filters on at 800mm, 1/8000sec, f81

Anyone see this storm around Bairnsdale - Orbost yesterday? best looking movement I've seen from a storm this season in Vic going ENE and the core held together for a fair while. http://www.theweatherchaser.com/radar-loop/IDR683-bairnsdale/2012-11-07-21/2012-11-08-04" onclick="window.open(...

I didn't feel it but heard the kitchen window making a noise for awhile and went to check what it was then realized another quake

Anyone else hear any rumbles not long ago? there was a cell right above me at the time lightly raining but didn't look good enough to put anything out.

Mini earthquake lol

This thread made me laugh as like has been said, I hate having power lines in photos as they are ugly man made things which you can see everywhere you go in Aus. Here's one out front of my place on Xmas eve of that awesome developing nuke updraft a few mins before I jumped in the car, I hate it to b...

Just got the black core here with some hail, was like a microburst for 10 seconds
