Photo's far from good quality, but you get the Gist... (Taken at the St. Arnaud Aerodrome)

Was on the eastern edge of that severe cell moving towards Dandenong. The inflows were incredible, low flying clouds being sucked up the monster. Never seen anything like it before.

It was so windy here for 5 minutes, with high winds, thunder, lighning, heavy rain, now its still as, and turned humid again. The local fire siren is going off in the distance. I notice on the powercor.com.au website that the list of outages statewide is getting bigger and bigger.

I'm at the Docklands with my son Luke. He is a bit annoyed with me as I was out taking pics all through dinner lol. The most amazing sky, I saw like a mothership forming in the clouds and at one point behind the Henry Bolte bridge looked like a tornado was going to form. Awesome stuff. Only got my little Canon G9 with me but will upload photos later. The last part had so much greenage in it With another round heading for Melbourne looks like I won't be able to go home in a hurry. This last lot just missed the city. What a night!

Thanks Occluded. Can't wait to get out there.

It has turned black here and very calm.
Looks like the huge mother just missed us.

Winds just turned and temps have dropped!

Nasty in Dandy Nth, MASSIVE rotation, medium hail but I think Dandenong has been SMASHED!!!!!

I haven't seen the sky go green like that since March 6th last year, strobe lightning for 10 minutes

Look at the storm tracker of whats just North of Echuca, Deniliquin is going to have a amazing sound and light show tonight, its just keeps on coming and coming and coming.

12.7mm in 10 minutes or less, sorry pumped on adren

Road Closed between St. Arnaud and Stuart Mill - Dozens of trees down apparently... Keep in mind for those of you out and about

Springvale only caught the edge of that one and it was impressive enough, marble sized hail. Made my husband run out and cover my car with an old blanket hehehe. Sirens and car alarms going off around us. I suggest any pakenham people go put your cars under cover now just in case.

Never seen anything build as rapidly as that latest one-possibly even more volatile then the Carrum/Frankston cell. Possible hook returns on the radar, pretty gusty out there. Latest pics speak for themselves. Was getting drizzle from a wall cloud!









We need someone from Koo Wee Rup to report in!

Missed me by that much. Fantastic greenage as it passed to the south, strobing CC lightning and rumbles (but not very loud...I reckon the wind carried the noise away!). Squally rain as the wind swung round (which looked great on doppler). Would have been nice for a little hail, but kinda thankful too!

Round 2 is on it's way. Stay safe everyone.

EDIT: Great shots Pengaz! 5mm to start my total off....

It was amazing for about 10 minutes here in Dandenong.
Hail. Lightning every few seconds.

Just spoke to my brother in Nyora, About 10 mins north east of koo wee rup. He's getting pelted. All the animals went crazy about 5 mins before first storm arrived. I told him to prepare for second one going
through Pakenham..

The back of the cell about to hit pakenham is very lightning active, but due to so much rain in the air, only good for about 15 degrees either side of vertical. It continues after the rain stops so get your cams ready. Lots of horizontal flangs and crawlers.

No rain yet but winds gusting to 30kph....we have thunder !....Looks VERY ordinary out there...

Dogs inside....candles at the ready...

The black core just south of koo wee rup appears to have a slight rotation? Can some one else see it?
