i just got to figure out how to get 'em all web-ready. I think i can send my camera card to ricky and he can sort it. They are nothing too great but they do show the squalls with the horizontal rain. Oh and the one on top of the hill getting bowled over is quite good

that wind has moved right around now and theres a real chill in the air out west.

looked outa window before and there was a clearing in the clouds and behind that you could see the cirrus of the next bit ready to fire thru. And with the moon shedding some light on the situation it looked real cool.

those cows are used to wind like that

Not the windiest day I have seen in the district, I think northland got more of the pressure grandient....if we had got that......

have a neat barometer curve now
will be good if ricky can get the video footage of the squals going through (while we sat in the car (rain drops with 65 knot winds is not nice)

Good to see the MetService are using their brains and telling us folk that it will be windy tomorrow, (3 times!)
