storm on its way
OK so BOM is classifying this storm as Very Dangerous - my dad has just called and said that this will be the most violent storm in the last few years. It is heading straight for bayside brisbane and at the moment we are getting a spectacular light show
Anyone else crapping themselves yet?????

Feeling quite pleased we stayed in tonight. The light show has been raging for about an hour now. We can just hear the thunder now - due to hit us (Brisbane CBD) in 10 minutes (8.35pm). Eeeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!

BEing hit fairly hard in Ormiston though certainly not worst of the summer as yet, let alone the last few years. However had a power outage for about 30 seconds a couple of mintes ago.

It was pretty bad here about an hour ago (Brisbane CBD). There's been an amazing amount of rainfall and some huge thunder claps and lightning strikes very close by. All quiet now..... well just back to the light show stage.....

Just the odd rumble now and the occasional flash

Re: storm on its way
Got to say that was one of the weirdest storms electrically I've ever seen . We were at a friends place at Holland Park at a party when we saw it coming. The whole sky had mini forked lightning between all the clouds (weird!) for about an hour before it hit & then it started! Massive lightning, golf ball sized hail & the strangest lightning that was GREEN struck twice! Lost power over there after the lightning strikes for about an hour.
Got home & have had just over 2 inches of rain here, left some windows open, so some wet patches , but no damage & no power out.

Just rang my sister as my mum has been taken into hospital and she had to get off the phone as the storm was approaching. She says it is going to be a bad one.
