not a drop and so manually flooding the garden and vegies again - so frustrating, you would think we would have our turn by now?

i just put a whole lot of washing out not more than an hour ago, lets see if that makes it storm big here!

another day of storms skirting around ....arghh!

not a drop here, very dry and had to water the garden tonight...ohh a distant rumble just now..

so close but so far again!

smoke is suffocating and thick here at the moment, can only see very faint lighting to the south, seem to be missing it all here

it looked exciting but nothing much here, could fall asleep with the excitement

...aaand it develops over the mountain past us lol

fairly intense downpour but just distant rumbles, no visible lightning seems to be clearing now

looking really scary out there, we are on the edge for now..which may be a good thing - no rain or thunder here

some great lightning in the distance but it all died before it got here, just some light spits of rain despite numerous warnings for flash flooding and large hail

looks like it will break up and go north and south aghh lol that would be right, oh well lets see

will whats out in the west continue through Melbourne or die once the sun goes down?

not sure what we had this morning it was just light spitting rain for the most part, i heard some distant thunder but sat up and the lightning was infrequent...it must have been minor as i fell asleep waiting for it to arrive! I think it all passed to the north and mostly died by the time it got to ...

Melb is always a bad place, they are either in western district or form after they pass Melbourne - today is a classic example.

i suspect that was it....

and it all turns lightning active after its past us! arghh!! some nice light showers earlier but now clearning up and becoming quite steamy. will see what happens but it just doesn't seem to happen over the suburbs - its either been west vic or south over the ocean with this one, not holding much ho...

I think its all died, are the nocturnal storms still happening, what would keep them active when this one is dying ?
