Cant believe how close we were to copping that initial cell! dang.

RAAF base may record some measurable rain out of that one-great little entree for better mains later on hopefully

Still looks threatening to our W and NW with Cu trying to form. Murky blackness to the far west.

The majority of the line seems to have now passed Flinders, but what a sensational show!! Beautiful pink lightning and awesome structure with mamas as the line got closer. Great contrasting sky! I'll attempt to upload some pics.

No thunder but a bucket load of CC's.
Huge tropical raindrops and gusty winds.

Fantastic light show to my south with plenty of rumbles...no rain as yet though

mick · Post by **mick** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:30 pm

CCs every 10 secs, mostly to my n/e, one flang lit up the street, had front and back doors open and wind blowing into both of em ??? Lots of rumbles.

20 minutes of thunderstorms around 1930 hrs and we have now had 32mm rain this afternoon. Paddocks flooded across the road many places.

Post by **Blackee** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:42 pm

OMG Amazing light show - every 2 seconds is strobing lightning - CCs, CGs, Crawlers the lot! Very heavy rain for about 5 minutes and getting soaked on my quick run to the car - booming rumbles! This is a fantastic end to an otherwise crappy NYE. Would love another one purely for photo ops as unfortunately I had an emergency to attend to. I'm willing to lay the bet that the fireworks are cancelled??

So much for David Brown's 'dry change' ROFL. :lol: Only the far SW and far NE were supposed to get it apparently.

Oh Well.

Probably not as heavy here as many other places, particularly Melbourne and eastern suburbs but very solid and heavy rainfall that looks like it could persist for a couple of hours yet. Got a patch of classic torrential stuff before. Other than that just your standard squall line with a decent amount of lightning/thunder.

droughtbreaker · Post by **droughtbreaker** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:54 pm

10mm currently with heaps more very solid rain to come. Brief lull atm though.

Karl Lijnders · Post by **Karl Lijnders** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:57 pm

Excellent to see that there are little gaps Andrew that everyone is getting a drink. Thunder getting louder here. Rain still heavy. 9mm here in 15 minutes. Still coming down nicely up here in the Yarra Valley, weather station working a treat here!!!

Had 8mm's here, still lightning and thunder to the east
