Chas, I think the problem was a transient one -- I haven't had any
further reports of problems.
BTW, the server that hosts my Bureau data processing is undergoing
major changes at present, and the automatic updates to my page may be
a bit eratic until Friday 8 October.

Thanks for the rain fall guaging aswell it helps with my report.
BTW, I will be out today hopefully taking photographs of a lightning impact
site which occured in Winzor Gardens next door to someone I know, so
fingers crossed it left some finger prints. Full report will be completed
within a week or so.
Happy chasing everyone :)

Wise move guys, the cool southerly is already through the Illawarra at
10am, normally I would kiss all storm chance goodbye, but the radar loop
is saying that there maybe is a last swansong with a weak band of showers
and possibly a thunderstorm coming in from the NW. Although believe it or not it
appears to be splitting to miss Wollongong - Shellharbour. Oh well it does not
appear that impressive anyway.

I sent an email to the wx-chase list in the US (which is presently
undergoing its yearly "end of season SDS - 'oh my God, the season's over' "
ritual) on behalf of MSC, to find out whether US chasers were interested in
following the Australian season as some of us have followed theirs over the
past few years. So far I've had a resoundingly positive response !!!
I'm curious to know how many on the aussie-weather list are also on
wx-chase.
Maybe this is a good time to start a larger information & knowledge sharing
exercise with the chasers in the States - Dean Sgarbossa (Vic) & Rals (Qld)
are already in contact with chasers over there on a regular basis.
My suggestion - maybe 1 person from each state could email a copy of some of
the chase reports making it to the aussie-weather list, URLs regarding chase
reports etc to the wx-chase list. I think this would be a great way for us
(and ASWA) to become well known amongst chasers in the USA.
What does everyone think?

Just called Jimmy and Matt to give updates on likely storm areas today.
They were just driving through Scone (about 3 hours N from Sydney). They
have reported significant runoff in most local streams from last nights
activity. It is mostly cloudy with some blue patches visible. They are
heading to Tamworth then north as the lowest LI and highest Cape is an area
bounded by Moree in the NW, Tenterfield in the NE, Narrabri in the SW and
Armidale in the SE.
Lightning tracker is showing extensive activity from Toowoomba to
Tenterfield at present.
You can update Jimmy on 0408 020 468
At Wollongbar, we had castellanus push through about 9am, and moderate to
fresh northerlies are blowing. Some stratocu about now with cirrostratus
(or anvils) to the west.
cheers, Michael

Hi all,
Back from the US of A at last, in a nutshell, it was great until we got
back. Flight got diverted from Sydney to Brisbane (Sydney AP closed due
to fog) which was good for us, only they didn't unload our luggage...so
that's somewhere, and then I find my ISP had accidently cut my access
off and deleted all emails that I would have received, not to mention
finding my dog had been neglected at the kennels ;(
At least there's some storms to our SW.
I'll write up a journal of my holiday in the next week or two,
Great to be back (I think!)

That's Wonderful! If you do a follow up post to wx-chase point out that
they can do a simplified subscribe at:
http://world.std.com/~dhart/awlist.html
and that we have a digest, that might be useful to folks in the states to
whom its not as important to get the info in near real time, who might
want to keep the volume of mail down.
We could also arrange to have, say, any message with the word "chase" in
the subject line or some such arrangement forwarded automaticly to
wx-chase. We could also see about some sort of arrangement if any of their
folks wanted to cc: aussie-weather without subscribing.

A squall line approached my area from about 1.30pm but dissipated somewhat
prior to arrival. Only a few flashes of lightning and some cold gusty
outflow winds occurred.
Since 2.45pm moderate rain and some close CGs have affected Wollongbar from
the NW. Cloud base is mostly featureless, though darker to my north.
Lightning tracker is showing almost 1000 strokes in the past 45 mins, so
there should be plenty more to come for NE NSW and SE QLD this arvo and
evening.
The storm chasers were at Guyra at 3pm with no activity nearby - just some
development to the west and they could see the stuff over NE parts of NSW.

Hello all,
Well, it seems that yesterday was an interesting one in the mid north of
SA. Reports are coming in about a massive hailstorm (golf ball hail) that
passed over Auburn in the Clare Valley wine area about 3.00pm yesterday.
Apparently hundreds of hectares of vines have been destroyed and damage has
been put in the millions.
As it happened, I was bushwalking in the mid north yesterday at Mt Bryan
about 50km to the east of where the action was and I can tell you, it was
wall to wall massive cumulus, pileus and suspicious lowerings. Very
spectacular. I took some general cloudscapes, but where we were was in the
drier zone east of the ranges and all we got were some sharp showers.
I believe Yongala (north of the Clare valley) has totalled 80mm in the last
72h. Very good totals for this almost drought affected area...

SA - Vic ASWA Members Get Together - written by Kathryn Jolly
The Beginning
12 weeks ago Chris Gribben and I decided to plan a weekend get
together for the Victorian and South Australian ASWA members.
I decided to hold it on the long weekend in Oct (SA's long weekend) so
that way we could travel a bit further into Victoria and the Vic members
wouldn't have so far to go on a 2 day weekend. We decided to stay
at the Emu Holiday Park, in the Grampians and so emails were sent to all
members of the Vic - SA divisions.
7 people replied to this email to say that they would like to come.
A few weeks later 1 Vic member pulled out due to other arrangements
followed by another Vic member a couple of weeks after that. This
left us with 5 ppl, Andrew Wall, Cherelyn Wall, Chris Gribben, Nick
Sykes and myself.
The Weekend
Andrew, Cherelyn and I arrived at the Emu Holiday Park at approx
1.30pm. Chris and Nick from Melbourne weren't expected to arrive
until 9 - 9.30pm that evening, so we decided to do a small amount of
sight seeing before heading back to organise some dinner. A couple
of hours before Chris and Nick's e.t.a. we lit a bonfire in the
barbeque and hand fed possums our bread. We even saw a Scorpion no
longer than a 20c piece.
At 9pm there was a knock on our cabin door and we opened it to find the
caretaker standing there with a phone message from Chris to say that they
have had some car trouble but will still on their way. No problems
we thought so Andrew decided he would goto bed until they arrived and
Cherelyn and I got out the deck of cards. Approx 10.15pm while
Cherelyn was outside the Caretaker arrived again, to inform us that
Chris's car trouble was major and for me to ring him at his home in an
hour. The words "His Home" didn't come as good news to
us, so we woke Andrew up and drove 20kms to get in phone range with the
Mobile Phone. After spending 20mins on the phone to Chris we knew
deep down they would not make it to our destination. I told Chris
to ring the caretaker in the morning at 9.30am to let us know of his
situation as he said he was going to try to organise a car.
It just so happened that I was at the caretakers office when Chris phoned
the next morning. The news wasn't good. There was no car
available for him and Nick to travel to where we were staying. So I
told him we would be in Melbourne in approx 4 hrs. There was no way
I travelled 500kms to meet fellow ASWA members and good IRC friends and
not actually get the chance to do so. So by 10.30am we were on the
Western Highway headed for Melbourne.
At approx 2.15pm we arrived at the home of Chris Gribben and finally got
to meet both Nick and himself. They were both extremely nice and
one would have thought we see each other all the time (in a way we do but
not face to face) as we all got on extremely well. Chris kept
apologizing about his car breaking down, but thought it was just great we
travelled the extra 300kms to meet them. It turned out that Chris
and Nick never even made it to the City of Melbourne they only broke down
20 mins from home. At 3.24pm Andrew McDonald arrived this was just
great to us as Andrew (Macca) was one of the people that pulled out in
the beginning, so meeting him was an added bonus. It turned out
that Macca had a tape of a storm that Jane O'Niell had video tape so we
retreated downstairs to watch it. Some of the comments were quite
humorous.
During the tape I thought I would phone home to check on how things were
just to be told they had had storms for the last 7 hrs and they were
still continuing. A lot of swearing and cursing was done by 3 SA
ASWA memebers so it was a race up to the computer to check out the local
Adelaide radar, an echo of " ________ hell" was heard
around the room. We retreated back to the lounge room where we had
a great chat, and photos upon photos upon photos were passed
around. Macca left as we were organising dinner, it was great to
meet him, since we wouldn't have had the opportunity if things had gone
to plan.
Approx 10pm Nick left after doing a wonderful job of cooking up the chops
and sausages for tea, so Chris showed Cherelyn and I his weather photos
as we had not seen them earlier, and the 3 of us finally goto bed approx
2am. Andrew had goto bed much earlier being exhausted from all the
driving.
We left Chris's place and an overcast and foggy Melbourne about 9am
Sunday morning and were glad we decided to go there as a wonderful time
was had by all, and we look forward to the next time we meet.
Andrew Cherelyn and I arrived back in FINE AND SUNNY Adelaide approx
5.30pm CST. 8hrs driving time.
QLD's ASWA Media Coverage
ASWA's has segment on Extra - by James Chambers
A reporter and cameraman came to my place to do a story on Qld
ASWA for the show "Extra" which is shown only in Qld just
before the news on Ch 9. The reporter Doug Murray interviewed us
individually and of course we'd all like to give him some better answers,
but the pressure was on! I was filmed looking hopefully up at the sky for
good weather (they made me do it) for about 3 mins and we were also
filmed in the computer room looking at data/photos and also looking at a
photo album. They made me do something with an umbrella that will be
totally embarrassing I'm sure.Anyway we made sure the reporter had the
exact URL of the ASWA site, and how much the subscription is etc. This
segement was shown on Thursday September 30th.
More media coverage - by James Chambers
There is currently a lot happening now in terms of the Qld ASWA and
the media. You all would know about the story on "Extra"
Well, this morning I got a call from a producer at 612 4QR and I'm going
to do a LIVE interview at around 5.50am (eeek!) Friday morning (October
1st). Further, a Sunday Mail photographer will be coming around to take a
pic of me at 10am tomorrow for a later story. (I tried to get him to come
to the Qld ASWA Meeting or use Anthony's pic that was shown in the local
papers but he didn't like the idea).
All of this publicity is due to Anthony Cornelius working his heart out
typing letters and sending to newspapers all across Qld. I feel like I'm
'stealing' all the publicity that Anthony effectively created. With all
my dealings with the media in the last few days I've asked them if they
could wait until Anthony got back from O.S. next
week. Each time they wanted to do it in 'a hurry'. In the radio interview
tomorrow morning I'll be doing my best to heap praise on Anthony - but
it'll be live, so anything can happen! Just a couple of my thoughts and
news on what's happening in Qld.
Weather News
South Australia - report from Adelaide's Sunday Mail
Adelaide and surrounding areas exprecienced storms for over
12 hours on Saturday. (3 SA members were in Vic - not fair). The
electrial storm raged across most of the state triggering heavy rain,
hail, flooding and numerous car accidents. Parafield recorded 45mm of
rain by 9pm on the Saturday night, while the city recorded 15mm.
The Mid North state of Jamestown recorded 60mm of rain by 9pm also.
Heavy hail (golf ball size) in the Clare Valley region was reported with
them getting 50mm of rain in 15 minutes just after 3pm. Some
Southern Suburbs experienced power blackouts for most of the day.
A quick message - I am surprised that no one else has
sent me mail concerning their weather. I know of some states that
have had activity this last week through emails posted to aus-wx, but it
isn't up to me to search thru the aus-wx emails looking for
information. If you would like me to add your weather details to
the newsletter, when you send a copy to aus-wx also CC it to me
this way I will get it twice and know to include it.

Hi all,
There's a nice cell (probably caused damage in Ipswich/western suburbs)
to my SW, it's moving ESE though, but it's dusk now, and there's some
nice lightning, and thunder is clearly audible. I've had fresh N'ly
winds all day here, but it never got above 26C. I've got my eye on the
next line of storms, which have established them nicely in a position
that is good for us in this type of event. Lets hope they don't
collapse too early.

Hi everyone
Just a quick note really to say a couple of things.
Firstly, a great deal of thanks to Kathy for helping with the organisation
of the weekend just gone. Although it didn't quite go to plan both before
the w/end and during it - she was always positive about it and so a big
thanks to you Kathy :-)
Secondly, it was bloody fantastic that Kathy, Andy and Cherelyn made the
effort to get here on the Saturday after all my dramas on the Friday night.
It was great to meet them and I must admit that on friday night I was
feeling pretty ordinary with things, and for them to drive here was unreal.
We had a great day and night talking to each other and everyone had a great
time - apart from the fact Adelaide were getting storms! I will find a way
to pay them back for doing this one day - fantastic of you guys to do what
you did! :P
Thirdly, thanks to Nick for not only cooking on Sat night but keeping me
company on the Friday night - we had a few brews and watched some funny TV,
good on ya Nick.
And finally, it was good to see Andrew Macdonald turn up for a while too -
and thanks to him also for bringing that video we watched.
I suppose I should also thank the RACV for the tow of the car, and aranging
a taxi for us etc.
Anyway, enough from me for now - good storms to you all
Hope that the next meeting I have with the SA members goes a bit more
smoothly - lol

Hi all,
Ok - some severe t'storms have gone through some areas, the worse hit
areas are Inala and Oxley (western suburbs), these places have received
flooding, some roads have been closed, and on Bohil Rd there are reports
of cars that are under water.
Along Ipswich Rd, and nearby areas, there are some blackouts, and some
trees/powerlines are down.
Highest rainfall figure I've heard so far, is a rather petty 40mm in an
hour, which is very heavy - but not normally enough to cause flooding
like that here. Clearly, the recent rainfall previous to today has been
evident.
Still have light rain here - had winds of 33-35kn, and very heavy
rainfall (heavy enough to cause the gutters to overflow). Had a
terrific CG, with simultaneous lightning/thunder + power surge though.
Just heard that a car on Gowan Rd, at Sunnybank has been swept away.
Wow...good thing I did come back today, even if all our luggage is
lost...
Keep you posted.

Hey Anthony, Everyone..
Decided to drive into Brisbane a few hours ago to find a good place to
take some lightning photographs, but by the time i got in there the
storm was right on top of me.. and there was too much rain to take any
pictures..
Quite a nice storm actually, although the frequency of lightning was up
to 1 per second for approx 20 mins or so.. there were very few Cg
strikes.. which was dissapointing, but a storm is a storm..
Came home to find 34mm in the gauge, and it's still raining..
I also had a storm here at 1:30 this afternoon that dumped 19mm in a
period of 10-15 mins (estimated from.. not too shabby at all.. Of course
i was out chasing at the time (*&# at &*(# at # at ^$(# at $&*).. it seems everytime
i leave Redcliffe, we get a decent storm (I left Redcliffe on Dec 16 to
chase west of Brisbane.. came home to find we had Golf Ball hail from a
probabal supercell)..
Full report including Lightning tracker images, radar loops, satellite
pictures and damage reports will be within 48 hours..
