Re: Thunderstorm Potential Early December, 2009
It seems we have a storm developing, the storm so far gave out 1 big clap of thunder so far. Hopefully it will intensify a bit more.

Re: Thunderstorm Potential Early December, 2009
Apologies Vertigo... it maybe the way how I observe and describe things... what I meant was I watched it turn the base of that cloud hook around, turn and rotate towards the south. I watched it pass over the left of my shoulder and I am facing west.... hence why I said it did not make quite this far over towards me on the east.. I watched it.Vertigo wrote:rotating, DT, are you sure? can you get some timelapse video of it??
Will upload photo's...
edit reasons : typo error (typing to fast) I replaced east with correct word west in italics.
edit reasons: DT is correcting grammar and typo's.

Re: Thunderstorm Potential Early December, 2009
Hi Vertigo... at the base or bottom of the cloud in the first image (forgive my weather terminology and not being techical, apologies ) that is what I observed turn, rotate I watched it... and I was abit disappointed because it did'nt come this way towards me.

Here's a pic I took while I was out gardening earlier. Not the best quality, since it was from my phone.
