Was out on the halls gap storms and WOW Chased them from the NE all the way to MElbourne and all i can say is WOW
The cells over insane Halls gap were insane Massive MAssive Concevtion and cells was unreal and they were putting out amazing wall clouds and sure i saw a tornado at one stage but way to far away and more likely scud but it was amazing
Then got smashed by the cell loads of flooding rain and hail from 5c to $1 size and there was loads of it to Insane lowering s under the inflow it was just nuts and the structure was out of this world was like the plains
Hoping can link some pics up for you on Friday
Followed these storms to MELB were they just exploded even more was unreal to watch and the hail shafts on the back edge were awesome to see.
Best day and I am going to Miss Vic So much
Got Insane convection overshooting tops quite a few impressive wall clouds Loads of hail AND THE TREE DAMAGE OMG So many large trees down over the roads had to stop a few times to clear roads Massive tree litter and loads and loads of Hail it was unreal
Gonna miss your enthusiastic posts from VIC, Deano! Just make sure you keep that enthusiasm alive in SE QLD....which I don't think will be difficult to do! Best wishes!!
I seemed to have largely missed out on most of the action by being stuck in the middle! Missed the core of the 2nd cell by about 2km's (no hail) and missed a lot of the rain that developed up north later in the evening, although I did empty out 20mm, so I'm happy with that! It was pretty incredible standing outside watching the 2nd cell approach at a really past pace, turn green as it flashed above and hardly hearing any thunder...then about 5 minutes of squally rain and the wind change (which looked awesome on doppler!). Glad I saved some of the radar frames too!
Fantastic pics to all who braved and went out! Storms, dinner and kids kinda don't really mix, so I couldn't go anywhere, unfortunately, just snapped away on the mobile and camera from home.
Bring on the next ones!!!
