Whoa! what a cool night of it! woken twice with thunder, and once with a huge bright flash with a deep bass rumble. Heap of heavy squalls too. Resisted temptation to get up and check gauge til brekky.
Max wind speed recorded was 68kmh at 2.28 this morning, and total for system here is now at 26.8mm, total for month at a whopping 41mm
Seems our heating is bust too, spent 30 mins trying to light the pilot is pouring rain this morning. Grumpy pregnant wife now.
In the CBD now, settled into lovely heavy rain for last 25 mins.
Fabulous.
edit: just had flash and boom within a few seconds, and a little hail too!
