Really hope to see some action in tonight. I was outside watching all the lighting strikes hit Ballarat, Geelong & Lara.
Seems to have completely dodged Wyndham Vale.

I missed the first storm as I was at work, only seen a couple of flashes after it passed. Hopefully the storms in the West make it here and still pack-a-punch

Some really nice CG's over the bay, just downloading the shots now from the end of North Road

Heavy rain settled in, so time to empty the camera for later tonight.

Will be interesting to see how close CMC comes to this by sat lunchtime, seems to line up nicely with the radar atm and seems the closest so far of the models...

And starting to get a real wriggle on now on the 256km radar, watch this explode, hopefully.

16mm at Nhill so far so a good drop although probably not needed there at this stage.

Awesome shot Wolfcat.

I swear I saw that bolt...amazing.

Highly inconvenient that the storms have to come in the early hours of the morning. But that's nature for you.

Hope to last til the next band to come through.

Storms starting to come through St Arnaud now... bit of a sound and light show... unfortunately i can't get out with the Camera, much to my disgust

Also, Wolf, for some reason i can't seem to see Flikr photo's on our home broadband, any chance of re-posting with an alternate host? Sounds like im missing an amazing shot

Huge Orange blob just west of the Vic/NSW/SA border near Mildura :O
