Im not sure if others use the forum this way But I use :-
Board Index (up the top) and then *** View Active Topics *** to find most recent posts,
I cant find things any other way..
Im glad your envious (jealous), we can keep you informed to help you see them too,
there is a few of us on here that are keen to se them also..
Some nice thunder showers going through at the moment.
Dont think there will much in the way of structure today. Maybe further out west. But its been overcast all day and the rain just appears and then goes. But the thunder and rain on the factory roof sounds nice none the less.
I live in a world where I dont see to believe, but I believe to see...

The only question is how far east it will make it, rhino.
Having visions in my head of driving out the road to a nice shelf cloud after work, but don't wanna get too excited. Timing doesn't look too bad if it can strengthen.
Well might make it to me Meso, don't think it will get to Bendigo mate, bad luck. Probably will split and go over you, miss me and slaughter the metro area you watch. Will be interesting to see though.
I'm in Ararat on the way to Halls Gap and have LUCKILY managed to weave thru some absolutely enormous storms. One I just missed had to have been a supercell on the outskirts of Ararat, it was NASTY. Be careful, I nearly got shot off the road from flash flooding, it was an awful and unexpected adrenaline rush due to the trucks on the other side of the road.
Thinking of heading out to Mt Tarrengower after work. Get a view of it as it comes over Maryborough way. Gonna be bloody windy up there however.... maybe ill stay a bit lower and go around Newbridge... see how it looks in another hours time....

It's been rumbling a lot here in Templestowe lately. It's a shame that I may miss it as I have to pick my brother up from school (he had to stay for longer today) and drive him straight to his guitar lesson.

I'm gonna head to Leichardt near Marong, got a nice little spot there with good views. Can be difficult to escape tho if things get hairy and don't wanna get hail damage! Timing looks good though, should be another couple of hours before it makes it here (if it does). Fingers crossed. Probably the last good shot for the season.
