Thought you were havin a party Kit....with thjat heading lol .....But seriously, It does not sound good

[Isuzumu]

Not looking good will have the two girls locked away in the shed, right the two Isuzu's 

[Mallory Black]

We live Alderley and copped the edge of that 2008 storm that hit The Gap, it was something else

[Jeepers Creepers]

Thanks for the heads up, my little feline friend.... 

[Wazza2]

Thanks Kit_e I hadnt realised the urgency to clean up my junk in the grg from last week's trip so i can fit the second car in. Just checked the synoptic chart and it doesn't look good.

Guess that also cancels kitesurfing on Sunday. I don't like the idea of being a very long lightning rod.

BTW- what sort of lightning bolts do they consider non-"dangerous"

[Rumpig]

i like to checkout the Weatherzone forum and see what's coming weather wise, here's a link to this weekends predicted weather if anyone is interested.... http://forum.weatherzone.com.au/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1139896/gonew/1/SE_QLD_NE_NSW_Thunderstorms_No#UNREAD

Here it comes

[Jenko67]

Yep just got buckets of rain at my place, plus lightning right out side scared the crap out of me.... and the dogs...

[fuji]

And again

[Kit_e_kat9]

Okay so that first storm hit me about 1030.   I'm a east of Sunnybank so didn't get the worst of it. Lots of lightning (the non-dangerous kind I guess) but we only got about 10mm in all  It was windy and a few of those bolts hit right near home.  Poor Jack hates thunder so he's just come out from under the bed ... I was filming some of it.  No hail at all.

I hope those north of me enjoyed it. 

Glad I got the mowing finished about 1000 ... with any luck the gaps will fill in soon and I won't be mowing a dust bowl!  Almost need to wear a mask or something.  So now it's all over I'm off to battle the shoppers at Garden City.  Alas ... I don't like busy large shopping centres at the best of times ... but the bra had a blow out last week and DJ's do fittings.

[Rumpig]

2nd round of storms is coming through out the back of Oakey right now. it's a big line of storms and weather forum people are mentioning super cells and possible big rain falls could happen in places, so will be interesting to see what happens in an hour or 2's time here in Brisbane.

It pisses me to no end when I see people on facebook and in comments to news articles abusing the BOM because "they weren't advised until just minutes before the storm hit" that severe weather was on the way.

[Kit_e_kat9]

Yeah I agree.  They could just look out the window hey?  But that's no excuse really ... they've been warned on the weather reports (news) for a few days now.

Kit_e

Edit:  Golf ball sized hail west of Pittsworth.  Look out Toowoomba ... here she comes!

[Clouty]

Just had a look at BOM... It's quit impressive, a lot of dark red about...
Thanks Mal for the link to the storm chasers...

[Kit_e_kat9]

The storm chasers get all the good info ... check out these lightning strikes!
