We got the the tail end on the one that snotted you this morning but it did not last long. Might cop another one this afternoon although it is starting to blow a bit which will stuff up the convection. |

Thats the go.
We has a ripper of a storm front come through Moree yesterday/lastnight. 2in of rain in about an hour over night, the on-call boys at work were busy. Plenty of thunder and lightning, great start to storm season i reckon

Living in Bumpkinland has its advantages. All of them have missed us so far, touch wood.

We got snotted last night. 4 trees knocked down, a gate blown over and wheely bins pretending to be wingy bins. Next door lost a large part of its fence and quite a few trees.
Yup, it is storm season....... |

Quite a nice light show here in surfer's last night but nothing major. Spent the day in Brissy on Friday....nice and clear.... Looks like we just missed the snow !!
The storms up here are quite transient....come down to Melbourne for a dose of one our ferral offerings that lasts all day....we dont get the water works as much but man o man... If you dont have stuff bolted down ....you'll find it in Tassie the next day. Main thing is that everyone is safe....all other stuff can be replaced

I was up the Coast and the wife rang to say there was water coming through the skylight in the kitchen after some fairly large hail, so now I'm back and about to go up and find out what damage there is.

Had some brilliant light shows on the Sunny Coast over the weekend, sitting out back at the in-laws having a chin wag and a BBQ, watching the show roll over head. Heard the Goldie got hammered.
