Just heard from a mate in Cobden- witnessing one of the most amazing lightshows he's seen.

Wish I was there to see it!

Another Image just coming through from Whyalla-this is the most impressive wall cloud I've ever seen!

Wow looks like a never ending wall. Brilliant.

Cells round Euroa developing and rain growing north of Shepparton, building and moving south.

[Rhino]

The bands starting to head into the radar hole around the wimmera and Horsham so expect the middle part of the band to lose that severe look to it, athough it would be slashing down...stupid radar hole.

Rhino.

Watching a truly amazing lightning show out West. Flashes every 3-4 seconds. Lovely stuff! You could cut the air with a knife, it's that darn muggy.

[schitzengiggles]

The convection to the North is being held up by the wind change. There's a cell to the far NE sparking.
I see it now ILS, and apologise for any contempt shown.

[Petros]

And with the consistent SE'ly movement of the storm line, all areas from Cape Ottway-Warnambool-Hamilton-and what evers further NW's will cop huge evening falls ahead of the real rainband to follow only 12 or less hours later. Floods.

26C calm, baro kicked up 1 to 1008 hPa (why??) and its cicada crescendo here. Our house is a sauna.

Pengaz, I'm posting this from my old faithfull laptop again (Hooray!!) which your clever brother somehow got going again after being dead for months and my best attempts (which probably made things worse). [edit] - rain shown here on radar, just a small splodge, but its all virga and I can see lighter twilight sky to the W underneath it.

No probs mate. I am always very optimistic so a lot of the time I do get it wrong, but I am bound to get it right eventually LOL it is still marginal but it is 9pm now and things are still looking decent.

[apocalypse]

We're almost certain to have a huge amount of rain here. Last Wednesday, whilst watching the TV, a black house spider thought it was appropriate to drop by on the lounge arm and say g'day. The next day we had a ton of rain, with some parts of town recording around 80mm.

I found a black spider crawling up my leg this morning, so we're certain for some more flooding rains. Won't be too good for the 'bidgee either, with the river only 15cm below the major flood level after it's peak yesterday afternoon. The authorities aren't allowing the 700 evacuees to go back to their homes until the rain has passed and it is safe.

Can see distant flashes to the west.

Towers are still going up to the east. Fingers crossed.

I had him fix my computer the other week when I was home- think he needs to get an ABN and set up his own computer repair business!

Amen. Hahaha

[Lara_Hunter]

Seems the lightning is intensefying, power out here in dunkeld.. sitting here with a beer and my laptop watchin the show amazing to see flashes from the north of the state all the way to cape otway

[Petros]

Denni radar now showing an ever-widening rainband expanding concentrically about it (or is it up the spout?). No lightning tracked in the area.

[schitzengiggles]

Lightning tracker all but dead now though.

???????? - do you mean at Denni?

[I_Love_Storms]

Line of storms out west intensifying. Spot on Lara_Hunter you must be having a ball...

[Twister]

Flashs every second to my W SW looks like its sliding a bit hope not i want to get hit head on


Gusty ENE winds right into this storm to keep feeding it so hopefully a good show in about 40 mins or so

Storms are lineing up all the way back into SA so could be a long night and day tomorrow for much of W Vic

Holy mother of god! That is just gorgeous!

It's not a wall cloud tho, its the edge of the storm. Looks like something from the states, very impressive.
