BRILLIANT PIC

Looks like some action at last for melb. Just humid here, Lakes got 12mm, we got 1mm.
Should get more later on.
Very stiff s/e blowing now, clear to the west, grey to the east.

Dead clam, light warm rain, more thunder, only two flangs.

Many rumbles. sounds like the Somme. No lightning visible.

Very humid in gippy today, getting unstable.

Thousands of flangs most are due to fires wont stop til dawn at this rate

Must be a good show down there, Mick! Lightning tracker looks impressive.

Best Ive seen down here. But very unpredictable. Power back on.

IMpressive lighting storm continues over the ocean, very dry, no good for fires.

LIghting now off the coast mainly, but Im nor going out to take pics, very unpredicatable, air still dry, ground still hot

A few large gum trees around here have been dropping large limbs, I noticed a couple yesterday and a few more down at the park this evening. I am guessing that means they are stressed? Its the natural way they spread, drop limbs with temp change, limb falls off tree, spreads seeds, unique to gums.

Sorry folks, internet blew up half way through post. A flang a minute, a couple very close, not much rain with it, maybe 5mm, not good for Omeo.
When you wake up tomorrow, things might not be good.

ADSL blown up mobile only many flags continue rain stopped

Good storm now power went off nice rain many rumbles many flangs

many thunders, many lightnings atm.

I am so over it.

Hang in there mate.
