Precisely what happened to me as an infant in the '39 Black Friday fires.
Omeo - Grew up with anecdotes from my parents who said the fire would raze
one house, burrow under three, burn the next then hop over the next.  It
stopped at our house and took a long time to move off.  Locals reckon it
was my mum's pear-ginger jam that saved the town.  It had set so hard in
the jars that it took a long time for the fire to burn through it.  :-)

Hi all,

While our southern counterparts seem to be getting their fair share of
summer, us Brisbanites have really had a cooler then average summer with
temps between 28-29C with the occassional day of 30C+ and some days
25/26C!!!  Certainly not the typical Brisbane summer we're used to...I'd
say the SE winds are to blame.  On Feb 1st I had to wear a jumper in the
evening!!  And another point of academic interest...Dec 1 was cool and
wet, Jan 1 was cool and wet, Feb 1 was cool and wet...lets hope the
trend doesn't continue.

There has been some recent talk on this list about the type of damage 
caused by tornadoes.  Interestingly, most tornadoes have multiple 
suction vortices which orbit around a central vortex and are not always 
visible to the eye.  It is believed that most of the damage attributed 
to a tornado circulation is in fact caused by these suction vortices.  
In the TVC series, there is a piece of famous tornado footage, filmed 
from helicopter, in which these vortices are not always so obvious in 
the main circulation.  It is an excellent example and supports the 
argument that these small circulations probably exist in most tornadoes 
but are not always so easily seen.

Hi all


After days of heat in the 30's. Melbourne cooled off with a bang last night.
Thunderstorms lashed the suburbs. My brother in the south eastern suburbs
reported flash flooding, frequent lightning and power loss.

The Temperature today is in the mid-teens, and it feels bloody freezing
after such a long period of hot weather.

But from looking at the latest computer models it looks like the cool down
will be short lived. By mid next week a solid northerly flow will again be
effecting Melbourne and is expected to last at least to the weekend.

So to all those Melbourne people out there, bottle some of this cool air
because it isn't going to be around for long.

Nick

I have read in books on tornadoes that there are eye witness accounts of
people who looked a tornado in the eye and saw the very thing you describe,
all writhing around the inside of the main funnel like snakes, with constant
lightning discharges. Very few people live to tell the tale...

I watched a nice roll cloud from Melbourne airport yesterday (about
4:30pm)- it was fairly fragmented, and formed on the side of what
seemed to be a developing cell (no lightning observed), but the
rotation was very rapid. A flock of large birds also got into the act
by riding the turbelence around this region.

Also I had hoped to meet some of the Vic chasers but I didn't get
anywhere near the amount of time off work that I expected:(

Why I'm asking is that some people (3 actually) in West Ballina told me they

Hello everyone.
               Please bear with me, this is my first ever message to 
you. My name is Rod Aikman, and I live in Bendigo, Vic. I would love to 
do some storm chasing, however being married with a young family and 
working full time, such a pursuit is out of the question. However I am 
able let anyone that is interested know what mother nature is up to, or 
has done in the central Victorian area.
    I, like most Victorians, am enjoying making the most of our cool 
change and have already taken the oportunity to get out and do some 
overdue gardening today, as the cool southerlies won't last long. North 
of the Divide, we have had less respite from the hot weather than those 
of you that live in the south. 28 days of temperatures in the 30s since 
January 1.
    Yesterday evening's change did not produce any thunderstorms in this 
area. Just a light sprinkle of rain that only left a trace in the rain 
gauge. The final wind change however was a real buster, with raised 
dust, leaves and other debris blowing in air. The plunge in temperature, 
15 degrees within 2 hours, was rather remarkable, even for Bendigo.

Welcome Rod..I haven't been on it long either.
Sydney got a ripping cool southeast change today..it's only about 20 degrees
at present and gusting to over 60 km (estimated). No rain, no thunderstorms
but very overcast.
We will only get a little drizzle for the time being...

I think that if I had a tornado passing directly overhead 
nad I had the chance to (a) watch, and (b) not be diced
finely, then the last thing I'd be worrying about would be 
a baramoter! :)

Assuming you would be watching and not being diced finely, or even at all, there
would be an excellent chance for measuring the pressure...
Reminds me of the storm chasers I saw on a video of the Geography channel, who
tried to send a radio-controlled helicopter into a tornado but couldn't...
I guess it's the thought that counts!
And I don't know who the German 17th century physicist was who said 'What is not
measurable, make measurable'.....

Here's a conundrum for anyone with some mathematics.
Have a look at the graph of my annual rainfall (links below)
On the graph I have drawn a 6th order polynomial trend line which shows
a regular up and down cycle of about 11-13 years in the rainfall
(actually not me but Excel 97)
Is this because it's the wrong trendline or does it really say something
about the rainfall history?
The graph is

I'd say the shape of the curve is influenced a fair bit from the
two high end data points. Look at the data data between 1970
and 1980. The actual data is peaking then fading, yet your
polynomial shows the opposite. I think it's just an artefact
of the 6th order poly.

And it is great to see that we are in an upward phase if that trend holds
true.

The US models are certainly not shying from that fact, not heavy rain for
Sydney / Illawarra, but consistent showers from Monday right through to at
least Wednesday. From Wednesday NGP has winds going more N/NE and a trough
developing that may affect us by Saturday, Melbournites look like another
dose of thunder later in the week too. MRF has more persistent coastal stuff
on its agenda for the later part of the week.
