it seems like the hook echo has lost its strength as it nears the coast.

Re: Thunderstorms Sept 28th-30th
Another lot of lightning active Cbs moving in West of Northland now..
What a great grandstand view of the earlier thunderstorms from here on the roof in Grey Lynn, in a warm light breeze under clearing sky while almost continuous lightning ran from horizon to horizon only a few km to the east!

Re: Thunderstorms Sept 28th-30th
Great photo's guys , looks like the classic thunderstorms for up north instead of the more common embedded ones.
Its times like these i think another tornado has touched down somewhere, definatly as waterspouts offshore i would imagine looking at those radars.

Re: Thunderstorms Sept 28th-30th

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
I never heard any thunder at all last night. Lots of distant spherics heard on AM radio, but otherwise it was a bust for me.
I'm pleased others had a great night and hope it wasn't a case of me being so bone tired I slept through something great.

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
We'll have to see what happens today regards convection but the central North Island looks the high risk region for some diurnally driven afternoon thunderstorms/small hail.

Yes, the Cbs are more photogenic today than the previous couple of days.

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
A bit cool for thunder today over much of the NI so far with cloud cover, showers, westerlies. Storm on the east side of the Ranges over southern HB currently.

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
it seems like the Cb's dont have the height that they could have, too. sounding seems to confirm this.

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
A scattering of low CAPE cb's today producing squally showers for Auckland. Weather too cool across the North Island today to allow thunderstorms to develop. Also a lack of a boundary to push the air up.

Re: Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th
Hi all, this thread was an interesting read, as this weather relates very much to what I experienced first hand, in the form of a mini tornado!!! I had to take cover as glass showered an area over 100m x 75m, and smashed house windows, destroyed a solar hot water system and damaged a crop of 5500 hydroponic tomato plants beyond recovery (luckily all was insured!). No one was hurt luckily.
Glass shards also pierced the roof's of 2 utility sheds (made of coloursteel) and the roof of a house. I thought I'd post an album of photos showing some of the damage done. This was in the Drury area. It occurred around 10.30am Monday morning:
About 2 kms down the road is Davies rd, and a property there with modern glasshouses suffered even worse damage:
Insane weather!!!
