Re: General September Weather
Am at Westerfield just at present, certainly some major clouds about including a classic 'anvil' towards Mt Peel half an hour ago, and a colossal lightning-flash to the NE. Skies clear overhead here but much cloud to the east.

Boom. It's here alright.
Lightning has taken out the power to Southbridge. Expect it back on in two hours.

Re: General September Weather
A bit poor from M/S not putting out a severe thunderstorm warning with hail this big being reported(only a thunder outlook) i thought this is what warning are for, to warn of danger to life and property.
Re: General September Weather

Re: General September Weather
Impressive storm. It mostly passed to the east of here with a very brief shower of hail about 15 minutes ago. Some of it sounded big but I couldn't see the size.
A few shots I took from the house before most of the actvity was obscured by cloud.
