Halden, do you mean Mullaley, which is about 25km WSW of Gunnedah? I
haven't heard of a Melaney. If so, the 24-hour rainfall report from
the official BoM station at Mullaley tomorrow may give some idea of
the rainfall involved.

If Brisbane is like Sydney the power outage is probably just due to poor
/low levels of maintainance. We've had 4 no wetaher cuts in 4 weeks!
Do you have possums in Brisbane - they get a lot of blame on Sydney's
northside, especially if fried.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
For those who didn't get to see the storms on radar in the NSW NW slopes
and plains, i have compiled a loop:
http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/archiveddata/otherstates/nsw/moree/14-10-99/eventloop.gif
Very nice.. apparently there was some nasty crop damage at Wee Waa.. you
can the cell that caused the damage in the loop..

While I agree that it is hard to believe that they received 300mm in 30 mins,
the possibility always remains that it could happen.
One thing I wish to say is that we have to be careful of carrying on with
doubting these reports. Sure, it is wise and imperative to check it out , we
must also be careful that we don't put people off reporting incidents to us and
then they are ridiculed.
It wouldn't go down well with the average punter. Lets remember that they are
people who are not as obsessed with the weather like us!

It came in at 25.2mm. Highest in the area was 29.8mm at Willow Tree
(south of Tamworth). Of course, there are a lot of non-real-time
stations which we won't see data from until the end of the month.
Exactly where, in relation to Mullaley (distance and direction) was
the report? I'd be interested in following this up further.
I'd consider 300 points credible, but not 300mm. I'll check the
Probable Maximum Precipitation maps in the library to see what they
have to say. (Most people would be staggered by how high the PMP
values are - the 72-hour PMP for the Melbourne catchments is
somewhere in the vicinity of 1000mm!).
Brisbane Airport (80mm) seems to have got the top total.

Hi all,
Halden again kindly rang me after he was able to talk to the farmer who
made the initial report. It was actually 300 points, in 40 minutes
(75mm). I'd certainly be able to believe this amount.
Certainly, an extremely heavy fall though!

Morning All,
Just having a flick through a few models and I thought - yeah - i'll check
the LI's for sunday with the forecast of possible thunderstorms. Well
paint me green and call me gumby but DAMN they look good. I can't access
the AVN site ATM so I am going on MRF figures and MRF has an area of -7 to
-8 in North Central Victoria at 10pm Sunday night (imagine what they would
be during the day). I currently have to work Sunday night but if things
look good tomorrow morning I am going to get out of work and chase Sunday
(if i can have a car).
Basically I'm after a general opinion on what others think of the situation
(and those with AVN can give us (me) and idea of LI's and CAPE during the
day sunday). Any information would be greatly appreciated. For those of
you who have read the chase report from the 10/10 you probably would've
seen the bit where I mention that chases should be organised earlier if
possible - I am trying to organise this one early so we can get some
thinking happening. There is no certainty that I"m going to be able to get
a car or get out of work yet but I thought people might like to know that
the thought of a chase is there.
BoM have a front effecting S Vic later in the day with a trough effecting
the N of the state. LI's of -5 to -7 extend almost across the whole
central area of the state on the 10pm map so it might be OK here in
Melbourne too.
Melbourne had a general thunderstorm warning issued this morning and a nice
cell dumped some heavyish rain right on the CBD with Yellow and Green
sitting on the city for about 20 mins. Not much happening now though.
Thanks
Andrew McDonald
(Macca)

Hello all.....
This morning I had a phone discussion with the chap who phoned in to the ABC
yesterday afternoon to clarify the rainfall situation at Mullaley west of
Gunnedah.
Zavier Martin says the rainfall was in fact 300 points, or 75mm in 40
minutes, which is more realistic. He says the cloud base was 400 feet
as the storm approached, and it was roaring before it hit just after 1.30pm.
The first band of hail was 1cm-2cm and lasted for 5 minutes, followed by a
short break, then intense hail larger than golf balls with some bigger ones
amongst it. There was another break and then 5 minutes of the smaller stuff
again. It then rained and the storm passed. Wheat crops were flattened, and
trees were stripped of leaves. Grass was mown down and there was damage to
the ridge capping and guttering on his house, and damage to vehicles. He
also told me he did NOT observe any funnels, and he knew what they were
because he witnessed one many years ago.
There was lightning and thunder as the storm approached, but he did not see
of hear anything as the storm as overhead, agreeing that it was probably
because of the hail noise and the white-out situation. He told me he took
one photo during the "white out", and has followed it up with damage
pictures this morning.
He is providing these to ASWA, and Anthony Cornelius is calling him to take
down an ASWA Severe Storm Report.
I hope this clarifies the situation....I believe Mr Martin when interviewed
on the ABC soon after the storm hit might have been a little excited about
all of the action surrounding him!!
Cheers Halden

Hi Paul,
Point taken. However, please note that no one was ridiculed in this case.
The report was merely questioned based upon lack of supporting evidence.
One could also argue the opposite, i.e., if we accept every wild assertion
as gospel, we will appear to the average punter to be a bunch of obsessed
nutters.

Hi Don,
Definitely lightning. House lights flickered a number of times coincident
with lightning, plus the total failure occurred also coincident with a
lightning flash (big multiple strike jobbie), which was followed by one of
those interesting low brief green glows - guess it was a transformer
spewing its guts out. In my case, somewhere close, to the North of
Ipswich.
In fact, we do have lots of possums and fruit bats which regularly fry
themselves, but Energex have never stooped so low as to blame them for a
power outage. (Neither might I add, is it very concievable that a possum
frying itself could actually cause an outage).
John.

Hi all
Anthony C suggested (and I agree) that maybe he meant "points" - many
farmers still talk in points which I believe is a quarter of a millimetre.
For example, 300 points = 75mm. ---> 75mm in 30mins isn't so
unbelievable! Very very heavy rain nonetheless.

You make some good points Paul. The initial accuracy of such a report
MIGHT be sketchy but it is important to approach things with an open
mind and just respect the reporters initial enthusiasm and excitement.
Most of us have had such excitable experiences, I am talking about the
weather.:-)

It actually reminds me of TV show I saw recently, a Tasmanian scientist is
known to be quite sceptical about Tasmanian Tiger sightings, what has
happened is that word has got around and possible sightings are not reported
to this person, but to media instead.
By the way this does not mean I believe Thylacines to still alive, it is
just to point out like Paul Mossman said, we have to welcome all reports.

It's interesting that you should mention that. The 132kv transmission lines
in the Illawarra transverse some rugged escarpment country. There used to a
least half a dozen maintenance crews back in the days of the Electricity
Commission, I don't think anybody denies that there was a lot of dead wood
and some plain lazy employees, but now under Integral Energy there is but
half a dozen people. Last time I drove up Macquarie Pass I noticed that the
trees have started to encroach severely on the lines and that the 4WD access
tracks are starting to overgrow.

Hi all,
Check this link for details on the next weather satellite from Japan to
replace GMS-5 next April:
http://www.bom.gov.au/sat/MTSAT/MTSAT.shtml
Maybe our satellite/radio enthusiasts can tell us if we will get more
frequent images. Resolution seems to be the same as GMS-5 for IR and VIS.
