The kids and I have been upstairs watching the show, all they could say (repeatedly) was "Awesome! Sick! Wow, look at that! Awesome" :laughing:

The show literally went just past us, from our upstairs windows it felt like you could reach out and touch the clouds, it's fascinating watching the clouds lower, then raise up again and the sun shining through underneath made it all the more spectacular :D

The structure on that little cell that just crossed the bay was awesome - there was a clear shelf cloud that I could see from side-on when leaving work in Notting Hill. This whole line coming through at the moment has some great structure, especially as there is very little precip coming out of it so far so the view is not being obstructed.

Dark here with some nice looking rotation up in the sky. Moderate rain falling with 2mm (and a dead fly) recorded so far today.

Edit: heavier rain now with some gusts, wonder if the fireworks at Ruffey Lake will get called off?

That cell heading off into gippy is NASTY. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some very severe damage.
