I have more, but I will share them on the 3rd with you guys.
Spwill,
That photo is very interesting, you can see the SW flow blow the backend of the cloud towards you.
I am surprised the thing is soo dormant atm (perhaps not enough temperature variation in the cloud)

Re: Thunderstorms Sept 24th-26th
the clouds today have been a bit too "soft edged", i.e not punchy, hard edged looking
i.e the updrafts have not been all that strong...hence the lack of lightning activity

Re: Thunderstorms Sept 24th-26th
Can see them,as theres hardly a cloud in the sky now,mostly the cloud off the tops ,dont have a good view to the east here.Remember in the 80s used to see buildups and they got "easterly blowouts" on the coromandel ranges all summer.
