Australian Severe Storms, Weather Events and Storm Chasing / Re: SE Qld / NE NSW Severe Storm Potential 15th October 2011

As MB alluded to earlier we chased out to a location just north of Casino. We basically sat there for the entire duration of the cells we were observing and were treated to a spectacular CG barrage late in the piece. The cells passing to our NW were so electrically active that on two occasions MB and I felt our hairs stand on end from crawlers passing overhead!! I've never experienced this before and was a bit of an adrenaline moment but a touch scary at the same time. Anyway I'll share a few more pics to compliment MB's
Some solid updrafts from activity to the NW

Activity to the West

After this the CG barrage started. All shots taken with lightning trigger.

In all a fun afternoon with nothing severe to report. Thanks to MB for driving.
Cheers Jason
