I had an aunt from Grafton pass on the
photo taken on the 30th as well. Like you
indicated on the ASW mini-report Michael I
also think its a pretty suss tornado. Looks
more like a nice low guster on the leading
edge but not a tornado. Still I guess that
day had tornadoes written all over it so it
will be interesting to see what the BoM
investigations uncover.

Half your luck...
All I got at Mt. Crosby was some distant rumbles and a paltry 10mm of drizzle... not enough to any damage to the bat poo.
-----Original Message-----
And boy is it raining hard - Im not very experienced in rainfall
estimation but I was standing outside my car with an umbrella nad the
few short moents from getting into the car and bringing my umbrella in
got me sopping wet. Even better I saw a lovely CG right in front of me
while driving - turned the radio down to hear the thuinder and there was
a few second gap so it wasnt so close. I tell you what though its was a
really nice surprise!!
Hoping the rain will clean the bat poo from myu car!!

I know this isn't exactly weather related but I thought it may be of
interest to people on this list.
At 5:20 this morning I watched a satellite steadily pass from the west
to the east across the sky. The interesting thing was that it was
alternating in colour from orange to green with a frequency of about 1
second - something I haven't seen before. Has anyone seen this
satellite before and do they know why it might be alternating in colour?
My theory is that it is spinning and as it spins one end of the
satellite reflects green while the other reflects orange/red wavelengths
of sunlight.

Hey guys,
I just found out my brother in law (he's a Doctor of Physics, into

I must get it from him, if he is willing to share it with us.

G'day Terry,
Yes, interesting thoughts there. In my text book there is a whole
chapter on climate change, about 40 pages, and one of the paragraph
headings is
"Climate Change, Plate Tectonics and Mountain Building." The pages on
"Theory of Plate Tectonics" is most intruiging. Wish I had a scanner.
:-(

Here's a coupla simple Dust Devil/possible Tornado stories for you.
The first one, definately a Dust Devil/Willy Willy was as I drove across
the Hay Plains years ago on my way to a new job for the local paper in
Mildura.
I could see this little wirl of dust building over a paddock as I
approached in my trusty "P" plated HR Holden. Geez, those 186 red motors
were good!
It didn't look in any way dangerous, this little puff of swirling wind
at all. Anyway, as I got closer the little puff became a bigger puff and
by the time I got to it, I was puffing. I can't recall how big exactly
but it looked like a tornado. It was dark red, full of dust and maybe
fifty feet across and much higher than that. As I aproached, it hit the
car real hard, I had panicked and decided to floor it (as most teenagers
would do ) hoping to get past it but i didn't make it. My car turned
into a hovercraft! I got pushed into a roadside rut and skidded to a
halt, eventually. It wasn't that dangerous as the Hay Plains are
basically flat and I just skidded along aimlesly but boy was I scared! I
was doing about 70 miles an hour when I hit it and the car came close to
rolling. It was as if the thing saw me coming and then darted right into
my path, at least that's how it felt at the time. I would be guessing at
the wind speed of this thing but it must of been at least 30-40 miles an
hour, maybe even quite a bit faster, dunno.
The other story involves what might have been a small tornado that I
encountered near St Albans in 1993, 15k's from Wisemans Ferry, with a
cloud base hovering over a high hill and then a strong spinning wind,
say about 70-100 k's an hour. My partner and I saw this very light grey
funnel spinning under a cloud just after we had stopped to pat some
horses on the road side. It looked really fascinating but not very
powerful , just pretty. Suddenly, it became much stronger and violently
tossed the trees about on top of this hill (Hill was about 500 feet high
or more) and then came across the paddock straight for us. I can
remember feeling really excited at first as this spinning thing came
right for us from less than a kilometre away. I still didn't think it
was that frightening but then as it got closer, the horses bolted, one
tried to jump the fence, and we got sand blasted (we were parked on a
gravel road) and tossed against the car. we tried to get into the car
but couldn't open thje doors. Seconds later, it had crossed the road,
hit the sand bank on a nearby river tossing up losts of water and sand
and then slowly disapeared into itself. My partner was crying and I was
pretty shook up. It was so sudden and violent. From my basic/novice type
description, does anyone think this was a small tornado? WE got small
cuts to our faces and bodies and the car got pretty scratched up. I've
never seen anything like this before or since and it felt very powerful
even though it was obviously a tiny wirl compared to american versions.
Lindsay
PS: It's really funny,as I haven't thought about this event for ages
until I was reaing some of the tornado sighting on aussie weather.

Interesting rain observations Terry.
A rain story:
Our street in Blackheath wends its way down to the bottom of a hill that
turns into a valley (about two hundred metres from our house) and this
valley in turn becomes one of the feeding streams for Govetts Leap Falls
(about a kilometre or so from our house). When we get the moist
easterlies (which is pretty often)coming through the Grose Valley from
the coast, they end up flying up this valley and bring lots of mist (as
the warmer moist air meets the cooler mountain air it condenses, i
guess), often very heavy mists at that, and light rain. It's so
fascinating watching this happen. The valley at the bottom of our street
seems to act as a channel, and we often get the mist first around here.
Conversely, when the snow comes from the west/s.west, it often funnels
down this valley and dissipates/disappears or at least lessens.
We have many misty days compared to most of Oz, i would say. Often in
our heavy mists, you cannot see 20 feet in front of you, sometimes
barely a few feet.

Thanks Terry,
I liked it :-). On the subject of climate change, do you or any other
folk have info/data on how this apparent warming will affect the
Australian snow fields? Ie: projection graphs, experimental or otherwise
on possible impact on our snowfalls.

As an aside, low earth orbiting satellites will have a pole to pole
orbit so the west->east direction may not have been accurate.
Polar orbiters will also tend to pass over at the same time each day, so
perhaps someone can watch the sky at about 5:15 tomorrow morning...
Also, to be technically correct, the period was about 1 to 2 seconds and
so the frequency about 1Hz to 0.5Hz...

hey paul,
where abouts are you??? was the brightness of the satellite about teh same
as surrounding stars or brighter? sounds pretty cool. maybe it was the
reflection of the sun giving the red/orange becos the sun wasn't far from
rising and the green could be from the earth, i dunno!

Hi Lindsay, what were the conditions at the time? As in, was there Cb
overhead? Or just TCU/Congestus? If there was Cb overhead (active
thunderstorm) then from the details you just told me, I'd say a tornado,
if it was TCU/Congestus, I'd say a landspout. Exactly how did the trees
get tossed around? Do you mean, completely uproot them and throw them?
Or just swaying violently in the wind? Did your ears pop at any time
during this event?

Hi All,
Did anybody hear Sunday all Over this morning. Macca mentioned a lake that
had two lightning strikes to the water (CG's or CW's??). Stacks of dead fish
were found after the strikes. I can't remember the name of the lake but have
requested the name of the lake and further details on the story.
Rainfall so far: Thurs. 20mm, Fri. 5mm, Sat. 18mm, Total 43mm in three days.
No rainfall last night. Scatter CU about 50%. Just heard the forecast on
ABC radio. Most places were forecast as having rain tonight.
At 10.30, 18C, 85%, 1014, NNW 5 Knots.

Hi Jimmy,
Nothing serious at present. At 11.00am it as thinned to about 30% coverage.
A lot of Cirro CU above the mid level. Interesting cloud band coming from
the West. Hopefully it might lead to some DECENT action.

Hi all,
TC Vance is still intensifying, with winds up to 290km/h. The JTWC
models still persist in saying that TC Vance will reach 315km/h though,
and still maintain that it will hit between Exmouth and Onslow.
Although there is a chance it could recurve, and hit slightly further
north, or as Jacob was informing me earlier, if it misses the cape, and
recurves after that, there's a chance that it'll affect Perth as TC's
tend to move very quickly in his latitudes. TC Vance is also rather
large, with gales out over 150NM(~280km) from the centre on the stronger
quadrant! 140NM (~260km)on the weaker quadrant, which is certainly a
large area of gales. The excellent 'no-shear environment' and very warm
SST's have played the critical role in this TC becoming so severe.
TOP PRIORITY

stretches to Ballarat so nothing likely to happen until there's some
clearing.

Hi Terry,
I think you'll find that most states are independent, that is, they
choose how they write their warnings, what they warn for, how they
forecast, how they broadcast their forecasts etc. Of course, they're
all given basic rules and guidelines, but other things are optional (for
example the road warning, the Canberra BoM have decided that they'll do
that extra little part)

My thoughts exactly, the sunshine we have at present is a bonus in that
despite the BOM forecast it may let some isolated storms build in front of
the cloud band, here's hoping anyway. !!!

Why not ! it is obviously political in my mind. Not having a go at the
Bureau, afterall the average employee has no say, but the chief guys are
under a contract to basically deliver the governments agendas ( whatever
party is in power at the time ), regardless of what sense it makes.

There seems to be a thicker band amongst the cloud mass approachign fromt

It can cloud up all it wants by I've got a golf game at 2pm
so can someone please delay the rain for a couple more hours?
Oh - plus I've just washed the car and laid some new concrete.
I guess we are in for some VERY severe weather :)

Hi All,
At 13.00 still mainly Cir. CU. Baro. dropped to 1011. We will probably get
that clear patch for a while.
If this band slows down and the remnants of the cyclones join up, we could
be in for a wet time.
Interesting to see what precipitation (if any)we get from the ex cyclones.
Terry.

Hi all,
I think the fact that Canberra BOM gets lumped in with NSW
rather than has its own separate category/page etc has led to
some confusion also. The warning came from the Canberra Office
of the BoM - presumably they cannot issue any warnings for
outside of the ACT.
I notice that today (Sun 21 - the autumnal equinox) there are
some other road weather alerts issued in other states. They
are:
Road Weather Alert
Bureau of Meteorology Adelaide
Issued at 1145 hours on Sunday , 21/03/99
The Bureau advises that weather conditions are likely to be hazardous
to road traffic in the Adelaide Hills today due to reduced visibility
in low cloud..
...............
PRIORITY WARNING
ROAD WEATHER ALERT for Southeastern Tasmania.
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY,HOBART
Issued at 1005 hours on Sunday , 21/03/99
Motorists are advised that fog may persist today over many roads
throughout the state, especially in the north and east. Visibility
may also be reduced locally during the afternoon in heavy rain with
thunderstorms.
Not sure what the NSW BoM policy is - by the content of some previous
posts to this list, it sounds like such a warning would be a semi-
permanent issue for the Blue Mtns.
Current Canberra wx (2.40pm) is fine with extensive bands of
Cirro-stratus and some cu (with only limited vertical devt).
Satpix show a thicker part of this band a long way west of here -
so I think Chris's golf game should go quite smoothly.
We received between 9mm (me in the west) and 25mm (in the airport
in the east) yesterday - very welcome indeed.
I have a visitor arriving from the US this evening who wants an
aussie BBQ - watch out for a severe warning for the ACT around then!!

I don't know how many years ago but my brother,I and his 2 friends were out the front playing cricket and the sky had turned grey. I looked up and right above us the clouds were spinning round and round, then all of a sudden there was this very powerful wind came we all ran over to our house and the screen door slammed against the wall. my brothers friends mum was out calling them. The boys were running then all of a suuden they got picked up off the ground and thrown against the fence. At the time it was rather funny. They didn't get injured

Hi Jo,
Tomorrow should be ok, I'm not expecting anything major...but there's a
nice NE breeze now (5-10knots) it's 25.6C and a DP of 21.4C, 1012hPa
falling here...it's generally cloudy.(at 6:15pm) I'm hoping that the
cloud will stick around tonight, and clear between 3-6am tomorrow
morning...the reason for this is so the heat and moisture is kept in our
atmosphere, instead of the heat radiating out. However I think tomorrow
will remain partly cloudy. NE to NW winds are good after rain, as the
moisture from the ground will give enough moisture for the NW winds not
to dry us out, yet NW winds gives a little extra warmth.
LI's are -3 to -4 last time I looked. If we do get t'storms tomorrow,
it looks like I might be missing some of my uni lectures in the
afternoon, but wx comes first!

I went looking for the article I was thinking of..it's in the January 1998 edition of
'Weather'..'Can Geothermal Heat perturb climate?'
The article is over 7 pages in length and appears to suggest that there may be
significant consequences of trapped heat from the earth's mantle being accumulated
deep in the oceans.
The mechanism appears to include ocean currents and volcanic activity.
As with all these climate change scenarios the total picture..earth, ocean and
atmosphere..has to be considered before any real conclusions can safely be drawn.

Hi all,
Just starting to rain at about 1mm per min at Orange. It looks and sounds
like that band of cloud has hit. Heavy looking Cu and A. Stratus fairly low.
Good reflection off the cloud from the Orange tungsten lamps down the main
street.

patch of box-ironbark forest, and just there to my right was a dust
devil heading straight towards me. It was a case of head down, knees
hard against the tank, and hold onto the handle bars tight. It was a
strange sensation how it pulled the bike to the left as I entered it,
then to the right as I rode out of it. (Clockwiwe rotation in this
case.) I was very relieved when I came out the other side unscathed!

Hi all,
Another sea temp:
http://www.fnoc.navy.mil/otis/otis_glbl_sst.gif
Not sure what the colours are for. Show difference in temps maybe although
it shows the cyclone as +1 and +2
Weather anomaly
http://www.fnoc.navy.mil/otis/otis_glbl_sstanomaly.gif
These will be interesting to record and watch over the respective
winter/summer for changes.
Again, not sure of colours. Maybe ice thickness.

Hi All,
At 22.50 ESDT rain now very heavy. Increased to at least 2mm per minute.
About 15mm so far.
I'm going to bed. 15 hours on the computer is enough for one day.
Terry.
