Jane,
It's good to see CD handles starting up already. If anyone else wants to, I am willing to start up a database of this and put it online. Send ya handle to my email and I'll add it to the database. Is there anything that should be added to the database. All I can think at the moment is just name and call sign, but if anyone thinks of something, tell me.

Paul.

Hi Mike and everyone,

Yep for sure. I agree with you also. Although, I can't say I've had much of an
opportunity to photograph close strikes. This both saddens and relieves me (for
the excitement and safety aspects, respectively).

Whilst I didn't capture anything on film, I certainly experienced a ripper
lightning display in Brisbane in January this year. We were at the local
look-out and the lightning was reaching the ground right in front of us about a
km or two away. I was thoroughly excited like I've never been before as I
thought I was getting it all on film, till I started feeling like I'd been
winding the film on for an awful long time; it felt like over 36 frames, so I
proceeded to check the film window on the camera (whilst growing increasingly
nervous), and... it was empty. I couldn't believe it. My heart just absolutely
sank. I felt so defeated and so intensely angry with myself, I just wanted to
scream. My face was red hot and I managed to withhold yelling out a wild
profanity as I was in the company of many other excited storm watchers. With
strongly gritted teeth I loaded the camera with a roll of film and waited. Well,
Murphy's Law can be applied here, as pretty much nothing happened after that;
certainly nothing of note. After a couple of years of chasing lightning and not
getting much in the way of decent photos, I thought my turn had finally come.
The lightning was perfect, right in frame, close to us, and I even had the
camera facing the right direction to capture a bolt striking a hill about 2 kms
in front of us which must have struck a transformer, as, for a full second or
two afterwards, there were three most magnificent, huge and brilliant glowing
balls of green, which seemed to light up the whole night sky. What a photo that
would've been. Darn it all! Oh well. I'm optomistic, and I wait in hope.

Sorry for rabbiting on, I seem to have gotten a little carried away!

Cheers,

Marty.

Yes Ben AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could be a HUGE year given the amount of unseasonal moisture that there 
seems to be around.  Mt. Crosby September rainfall total 79.4mm, probably 
about twice the average for what is normally the driest month.  But  here 
we are 1st Oct, and it even feels stickier this morning.

I notice no-one has mentioned the CH 9 5:30pm EXTRA show where we were 
ON... last night.  Oh Man, it must be even worse than I thought....  (I 
can't believe I said what I did - and then to have it put as counterpoint 
to the BoM spokesman,.... crawl, hide). :(

Tidbinbilla is a nature reserve about 40km to the SW of Canberra.
Overnight we have had light rain periods with between 6 - 9mm recorded
around the city. There has been the usual stratus and scud associated with
such wx but no storms or Cb's.

I rang the Nature Reserve to confirm the reported observation and they
contacted the observer by radio. Both the observer and the person I spoke
to were intrigued (and amused?) by my inquiry (particularly when I mentioned
the possible "T" word associated with funnel clouds). They assured me that
all they had was a calm, overcast sky with the same light rain that was
falling elsewhere in the region.

At 11.30am, it is overcast with continuing rain periods in Canberra.

Hi folks,

Well  what the heck!! Why not pump a few more storms here near Sydney on 
the mtns. There is already widespread activity from the NNW to the W and 
some also developing to the N and SW at 12:30pm... Great stuff. I am unable 
to catch up here. We have had so much action that I have had the report 
started for the chase over the weekend and not finished even to half way!!! 
Anyway, I will have it done.....................



Some day

Hi All,

The funnell cloud was indead reported by Tidbinbilla as their present
weather.  I presume that this was either a wrongly coded message or a
message that was corrupted in transmission.   The funnell cloud present
weather code is 19.  Moderate intermittant drizzle was reported as past
weather but no precipitation.

The visibility at 9am was given as 500 metres so the correct present
weather could have been 49	which is "Fog at the time of observation, sky
invisible, depositing rime"   Observers sometimes confuse depositing water
droplets with rime (which is ice).

I suggest that you contact the NSW Regional Forecasting Centre of the
Bureau of Meteorology and ask them if they have obtained the correct
present weather from the observer.

this point not as good. I am going to head out that way soon I just have to 
do something first.

My mobile phone is 0408020468  if you want to update you with what is 
happening out there. There are other storms developing but this is the 
first of the day. It is slow moving and the winds aloft are very light 
compared to middle levels. With the amount of moisture we have, the storm 
should be a high rainfall event.

It is remarkable to think that a jet is needed to really stir things up but 
it may be part of a system that can clear things out. WHich do we want???? 
Central border areas of NSW and Qld seems to be the area to chase. It would 
be interesting to see how things go.

Since I download data/maps from READY for the AVN/MRF NCEP 
models, I noticed that MRF fell behind at the 1999092700Z 
initialisation with only a 7-day forecast run anticipated:-(
So I dived into NCEP operations at;

http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready-bin/getdscn.pl?product=NCEP+Operations

to discover that their Cray C90 super computer got "toasted"
the other day. I don't know which day but it was before 
30/09/1999. Nevertheless, the Cray C90 at Suitland NWS campus 
caught fire and the fire department put all these chemicals 
over it to put the fire out. Silicon Graphics are responsible
for maintaining the Cray C90's. They determined that this 
machine was a right-off...me thinks that with the spate of 
failures around NCEP lately (this is but one of several), 
that either the models are running too hot (sic) or they 
need to accelerate the contract already awarded to IBM to 
replace the Cray C90's...So any thoughts of an Australian 
Weather mob picking up an ex-NCEP/NWS bargain have been 
dashed-out by the Suitland Fire Department...NCEP are 
literally in damage-control mode...Doesn't our BoM use
Cray C90's or some other Cray supercomputer of that
generation? I'd be looking carefully at the circumstances
surrounding NCEP's Cray-woes to make sure they don't
repeat here in Oz...such is life with computers as they
reach the end of their life...

Tracking SSE/SE toward Penrith/Camden and intensifying on the
radar significantly from 0320 to 0330Z mainly.

No need to chase:-) Just take a look out my office window in the
city...Also, radar shows an impressive complex of cells currently
tracking from the NNW/NW to SSE/SW right across the Sydney metro 
area.

No doubt, some more ASWA radar requests will follow...more mail
about that later.

We're still waiting for some action in the Illawarra (which is quite amazing
in light of the past week) - I'm watching the cells which are developing
(and undeveloping) NW of Camden at the moment, they're the only ones that
have a chance of getting here.

Very nice storm out at Bowral in the last hour, might get down to Kiama but
seems to be weakening.

Hoping...

Andrew.

Hey Michael, Everyone..

After reading some posts to other lists and information on the NCEP
websites.. it looks like our model runs could be a little chaotic over
the next week or so.. as usual the information bulletins they release
never really state clearly what is happening, but i think AVN will only
be updated twice daily instead of 4 times daily, and the resolution of
some models may be decreased? Not sure on the last one though..

I might add that AVN is all over the place at the moment.. while the
general MSLP pattern might be OK, the finer points like the LI's are
changing constantly.. makes it hard to forecast with..

Hi Jimmy and everyone,

Pump they did!. 

I had the am radio tuned into my favourite lightning
station at work - at 4:30 pm static crackles were
virtually constant so I thought bugger it and just
took off (some experiments will just have to run until
Tuesday :)

The storm, at least when I first sighted it, was
probably over the Hills district with a nice shelf
cloud evident. Given the peak hour traffic, as well as
the fact that the storm was heading towards the north
shore, I decided to camp at a Gordon car park and just
watch it roll in. The CGs dropping from this storm
were even better than the 22/9 and were probably
comparable to the 14/4 supercell...very powerful bolts
dropping one after the other. The rain was very heavy
for quite some time so there was plenty of localised
flash flooding in the area.

I heard radio reports of hail damage in the
northwestern suburbs and wind damage somewhere else -
wasn't surprised based on the structure of the storm.

David

2 interesting points first..
1)Ben's email "Bring it on" for the start of the storm season.
2)Jimmy and the turtle we saw yesterday, and he said it might be an
idication we are in for some wet weather..

Anyway my work shift was from 11am-6pm, so i was at work for the whole storm.
I managed to get outside just before 4.30 (i was by myself from 4pm-6pm)
after hearing on the radio there was a severe storm warning out for the
sydney met area.. (its one of the best things you can hear on the radio
when you dont expect it).. anyway i saw a nice cloud lowering and counted
my lucky stars when i remembered i had bought my camera/video camera to
work..i closed the shop for 10 minutes (shh dont tell anyone hehe) and took
some photos and set the video up inside the car to shoot while i was
inside..i think i taped an hour or so of the storm before the tape ran out..
but this cloud lowering had mean and nasty written all over it..i ran out
of film and went to the servo to by some, they only had kodak (yuck), but i
got it and took a few more pics..Heavy rain started around 5pmish i think..
it went for a good 20 minutes, very heavy and flash flooding everywhere (at
Fivedock).
Some great CG's pounding around etc, usual stuff i guess you could say..
Got out of work to a dissipating storm .. oh well, im glad Jimmy and James
Harris had a good chase, and Rune took some good video i hear as well!
And dare i say again.. some more tomorrow? :)

Hi Everyone,

I too observed the storms that swept across Sydney this evening. Got a
fantastic view of the cloud structure from work. Was watching the lightning
with a number of other work mates and when we went for drinks at Darling
Harbour it started to pour down with rain. I observed a lovely green tinge
to the clouds just before the storm hit and there was quite a few very close
lightning strikes. One of them was almost right on top of me and was
absolutely deafening.

Unfortunately I didnt get any pics as my camera was at home. Anyway
hopefully there will be more storms over the coming days to photograph. Glad
to see so many people out and about getting photos and film of this storm
from different vantage points. Cant wait until the next meeting to see the
mountain of footage and pics we have obtained from the last few weeks.

Matthew Piper

P.S. Its starting to pour down with rain here at Blaxland as I type this
(8:48pm).

It has been very frustrating here in the Illawarra, three days in a row
storms have formed around Bowral but have drifted S/SE along the southern
highlands, almost as if they knew the high ground route. They have been
coming off the highlands around Nowra, but in the same three days there has
been a mysterious 'no go' corridor in a line from Picton to Wollongong.

Still stormless Thompson !

Hi John

I think it was a pretty good report though rather embarrassing on my behalf
(you know, that umbrella).  That was a great adjective you used to describe
a storm...I just can't think of the word at the moment.  Hey by the way, you
were actually John Woodridge in the story not Woodbridge!!  Made me laugh.

Anyway see ya later everyone - I'll see some of the Qlders at the meeting
tomorrow.

Regards
James Chambers
P.S. I'm a tad jealous of those Sydney people with all the storms...but
don't worry...we'll better whatever you get this season!
