Heaps of camera locations

theres the radar of the storm. currently growing.

Hearing thunder, just saw lightning

Thats one of the best radar loops ive seen of a storm, thats a supercell.
Watch that area out of mt somers could be forming a second cell that heads towards rakaia.

15c in Christchurch, lots of sunshine but I wonder if it will swing too far west

Looks severe to the south of town here

What is the chance of this thing fizzling out before it hits Christchurch SS? Or are the conditions favourable in Christchurch as well?

Wind strengthened and gusty from the east;
thundering;
looks like some nasty cloud just to the west of here and heading north.

you guys are lucky down there. two storms in 1 week plus tornado. I wish for some thunder here but that is unlikly to happen in the future.

Looks right in the firing line on the radars, and it looks to be getting bigger!

Seems to be sucking inland more now think thats the NE sucking it off the coast and building it.
Chch may well be in the firing line, watch for a tornado around lincoln tai tapu area good funneling from BP there.

Couldn't access Forum earlier, lost several posts.
Rain and hail roared down for a few minutes; first hailstones up to 50-cent-piece size and bouncing several feet up off lawn.
Was fearful for windows on south and then east side of house for a while.
Still raining.
