Yeah the thunder is directly over my house making everything rattle. If I wasn't surrounded by so many trees I'd be outside with my camera taking pics of the lightning

Sure it's not someone on your roof eating frozen corn?

the corn was extra juicy, not frozen

mmmm corn

funny that i was just eating corn, it stormed out the bald hills way on Friday, and been a recent emigrant to the south east corner i was quite surprised when it hailed. got some in the freezer to show my sister when she moves down at the end of year :D.

Absolutely pissing down on the GC.

I could have sworn I even some blue jet lightning while it was rolling in. we had a pretty light show but no real rain and nothing really hit here

storm is to the south of us. its going off though. constant flashes of light.

holy hail at springwood right now

With that attitude son, you might aswell be a flippn mud crab eating cherios whilst listening to music of Billy noel.

Be a woood chipper and climb those trees to extract the goodness!

go melbourne storm!

must be down at the sticks cause we got nothing besides thunder in the distance and drips :(

Small Hail down in Logan.

Its crazy how the rain avoids esk. It is like there is a cloud no-fly zone right through that whole corridor... whether it comes in from the coast or inland, it always goes above/below as a whole or splits into 2 and just goes around the catchment on both sides. So dissapointing, I want 10min showers :(

Went into the cinema and no clouds in sight, come out and tree branches on the roads and power outs leaving traffic lights dead, something that looked like a pile up on the highway heading towards GC, no cars are moving near the Cleveland exit.

There appears to be a UFO in the sky, as I can see bright flashes!

i really really miss days and days of endless rain :-(

anyone old enough to remember the 74 floods??
me and my cuz went swimming at the railway overpass at Zupps near Downey park @ Windsor....couldn't get through the road........dad parked up the street and we hit the water.....then when the water went down a bit we used those round boards for some surfing in Downey.....can't recall what they are called but you use them in the shallows at the beach.....put them down and run up and jump on them and try and stay up......
nothing like rain up this way.....we are just shy of the big frequent falls....all that starts around Mackay.....
i forgot to mention the aweosme regular thunder storms......they were great!!!

I don't know about 74 floods, might have been them I wasn't alive but my parents said the water came right up to our back door.

I grew up in Brisbane in the early eighties at the Gap (before moving to Melbourne) and I still remember the awesome, and frequent, storms that we would get.

Once I moved back to Brisbane about 10 or so years ago, I was, and still am, disappointed at the lack of storms.

Love a good storm with the lightning cracking over the cane fields.... maybe I should write a song about that.

i also lived in Darwin for a couple of years.......talk about awesome thunder storms!!!! that is the capital of them.....but yeah i remember when Bris had some great ones.....in fact i remember it raning for so long that we had mildew starting in the joins in our old weatherborad home....clothes hanging under the house that always smelled damp....funny how we used to complain about it then!!

pissed down here at browns plains, best bit of rain we had in months but yeh, its never across the catchment areas.

I miss the QLD storms, Melbourne just has no idea how to brew a good thunder storm.

HAHA! Ho s*** i remember my old man telling me about those 74 floods, and funnily enough he was at the Zupps/Holden at Windsor as well! He lived just up the road and he said the neighbours backyard was underwater as they were right near Kedron Brook.

Oh yeah, and the boards are skim boards arent they?

its storming over bald hills as we speak.

my best storm story... one Friday night in cairns.. 400mm of rain in around 4 hours, ground was totally soaked. on Sunday, Cyclone Rona or Steve smashed into FNQ. the end result... massive damage to large trees that had been standing for centuries (root systems all lose and messed up from the heave rains) and the complete isolation of cairns for around 3 days. airport was closed, all the roads out of cairns were closed, and we had no power for 2 of those days.

oh and yeah Larry was lots of fun too! :P

admins, timestamp is showing mexican time, k thx

servers are in mexico, and it's best if everyone just adopts mexican time anyway

i mite just do that, say a big f*** you to all the backward hicks that prevent me from running the correct time, and ill just operate on dst

anyway, i dont mind the light rain, but can the heavy stuff hold off until i get my drainage sorted

i dont like under my house getting flooded;

mebee you should have bought a better house! A water proof one, that doesn't get wet.

Was driving home last night about 11, stopped at my house, getting ready to get out of the car. HUGE crash of thunder and lightning, turned around in the car to see a flaming tree two houses down come down, take out all the power lines and lie across the road. Whole street goes dark.

I was like "Screw this, I'm sleeping at my GFs house where there's electricity."

yer.. at the time i was living with my olds in a caravan while thier new house was being built. i remember being in the car with my old man driving over the hornibrook bridge with waves crashing against the side of the car! o_O scary stuff.

i mite just do that, say a big f*** you to all the backward hicks that prevent me from running the correct time

the correct time? time is a concept... accept the incrementation of your local area or don't & stfu.

I had a round skimboard thingo when I was really young. Used to take it to the beach and go sliding around on the few cm of water left after a wave had just come in. They were pretty fun :)
