That sounds like a description of bead lightning - where the actual
lightning channel is showing various degrees of ionization or "glow" giving
a beaded effect to the lightning strike.

 Well, not that's it's been that much of a winter, but it seems we're
getting back pay this weekend. Pissing down in Christchurch this Sunday
morning, and only about 4 C. The snow is probably falling to below than the
500 metres it's forecast to get down to.  Yesterday, the temperature was in
the high teens in the city, while the cold southerly was already making an
impact further south - about 8cm of snow at Wanaka, and heavier falls on the
skifields. At least this cold, wet spell should clear up tomorrow.

There are was a report of a possible tornado in NE Victoria last night on
ABC radio news this morning. The tornado has reportedly destroyed a shed,
damaged a number of homes and uprooted a number of large trees. A damage
assessment team from the SES is on the way to assess the damage. The tornado
occurred at 7pm last night. I was half asleep when I heard the report and
missed the name of the town. Will give more details as I here them.

Bussie in NE Vic, have you heard anything??

That's better wording than I used. Yeah a beaded affect at the top of the
bolt. Don't know what it hit but it was close enough to feel the thunder in
your chest stuff. Made me head for cover.

Just got told that it was either in Mulwala (Yarrawonga) or Milawa, near
Wangaratta. Could be either one as there was some pretty ferocious stuff
around at about 7pm, including here. No damage here but strong winds and a
very close thunderstorm that dumped about 10mm.
Will scout about and see what I can find out.

There was very active lightning through NE Victoria last night.  Lightning
extended up into NSW also but there was at least one cell in NE Vic/SE NSW
that may well have been severe.

More details of the Tornado in NE Victoria

As Bussie said the exact location of the tornado is not yet certain, as it
was hard to make out the name from the news report but it is either Mulwala
(Yarrawonga) or Milawa(Wangaratta).

Eye Witness accounts describe a funnel with debris. An interviewee described
how the funnel turned as it entered his backyard and hit his neighbours. The
tornado was described as a mini tornado by the ABC news report.

A story has been put up on the ABC news site

Fire captain tells of backyard tornado
Cleanup crews are preparing for a busy day after a tornado swept through the
northeast Victorian town of Milewa last night.

The twister caused extensive destruction in a 200 metre wide strip, damaging
homes, uprooting trees and bringing down power lines.

Country Fire Authority captain, Ritchie Gardiner says he saw it coming
shortly after 7:00 pm AEDT.

"I had a friend over at the time and we actually saw the funnel come down,"
he said.

"It had a lot of debris in it.

"At that stage we knew we were in trouble.

"It started heading towards us, we grabbed the kids and headed to the front
of the house and comforted them.

"It actually turned in my backyard and missed our house, missed my shed,
tore some bits off my shed, and went through the neighbour's backyard and
through the neighbour's house."

Thanks Martin and Phil for your responses to my question about 1992's 
rainfall amounts.  Martin, the records you were talking about would be 
appreciated.  Well it looks like more rain is heading Adelaide's way.  I 
wonder what impact it will have on Mt Bold and the Onkaparinga River as well 
as the rest of Adelaide.  I tried to go up to Mt Bold yesterday but the road 
was shut (Water over the Road) plus too much water being released for safety 
of the public, instead I saw the Clarendon Weir, it was an impressive sight. 
  Heaps of people taking photos etc.  Then I went to Kangaroo Creek tried to 
go past Lobethal but there had been a mud slide on the road.  Kangaroo 
Creek's water levels still were not all that high.  Went back down through 
Newton on the way home and on my way was hit by an impressive shower, 
associated with the on-shore airstream.

Anyway fairly interesting looking mass of cloud in the Bight but it looks 
like it is heading more towards Melbourne.  I wonder how much rain we will 
get out of this system I wouldn't be expecting that much but it looks like 
the air infront of the developing cold front in the Bight is very moist with 
lots of low level cloud.  Would like to here from more people about their 
views on the development of the system.

Hi,

i know NASA has a java program that shows all the "known" sattalites tracks in
time. Can't remember the url, so don't know how much that will help.

Out here we have a whole room dedicated to Tropical Forecasting. Big monitors
with the current imagery received direct from the GOES satallites - pitty they
only get the NH :(

Hi all, as was earlier mentioned there is a flood warning current for the
Onkaparinga River, apparently they opened the Mt Bold Reservoir this
morning 200 mm and then further to 500 mm this afternoon. 
This has caused a huge rise in river levels all the way down to the mouth
at southport. It certainly looks very impressive, I travelled from
Clarendon down to Port Noarlunga this afternoon carrying out flood
assessments with the CFS, however at this stage we are not expecting too
many problems tonight.  However if the tides had been a little higher it
might be a different story. Certainly the level is not as high as we had in
1992 when we were sandbagging houses in Old Noarlunga though.

I will see if i can get down there tommorow and get some pics if it still
looks good.

Cheers

Just returned from Milawa (NE Victoria) where I met up with Jane, who will
possibly put up some photo's etc later tonight. There's some pretty awesome
damage down there (about 50ks SE from here), and is possibly the same storm
that I videoed which produced the two rainbows. Although I never filmed long
enough to catch that incident. Do we ever? Groan. I stopped filming from my
vantage point just on the outskirts of Rutherglen about 6-6.15pm and this
"incident" occurred about 7pm. I can tell you though that the Honey factory
which doesn't look to be that old is now just a twisted wreck.
I'm not experienced enough to say what it was or it's intensity, but
straight line winds don't twist solid steel from my observations. One badly
damaged home, which the owner was away at the time. And lots of trees down
and other building damage. Looked to have a damage path of about a Kilometre
or so.
There was plenty of Helicopters around when I got there about 12.30 or so.
Police I think, CFA, and TV choppers. Couldn't get near anything for a while
and when we could........
Don't take kids with you. Grin. No doubt it'll be on the news.

Over to Jane...........

I can tell you another thing. It is a very wet area, not far from the
flooded King & Ovens rivers.

From the learner.......

Sorry if I have been ignorant had it been mentioned, but what was the time 
when the tornado hit? I am trying to narrow down the storm that did it but 
I think I know which one. If it was the one I was thinking of, then I can 
tell you it was quite explosive.

Yes Nick these updates are most appreciated. Thanks for that.
Also anyone interested in taking a look at some truly unbelievable pics of a 
supercell (in Colarado i think) have a look at these:

Hi Guys,

A few weeks ago, someone posted a message to the list asking for more
information about some light streaks that appeared on some photos they took
during a storm.

I got some photo's back that I took at the Rally of Melbourne today and on 2
photo's that I took of a double rainbow at Yarra Glen, there are some of
these streaks.  The double rainbow was beautiful and having some rally cars
just made it all the more interesting for me.

Now, I can't remember all the details from the subsequent posts on this
topic, but I do remember someone mentioning the possibility of  sun light
reflecting internally in the camera.  I can't say wether this was the case
in the original photo's, but it couldn't be the reason for the streaks in my
photo's.  Mainly because I was taking the photo's with the sun behind me, as
you have to to take photo's of rainbows, also because I had a visor mounted
on the lens.

At first I thought it might have been a rain drop illuminated by the sun or
the camera flash, but the size of the streak would indicate larger rain than
was falling at the time.

Unfortunately I was unable to ask the lab about the streaks as I didn't see
them until later.  But the rainbow shots were the only 2 photo's from 2
rolls of 36 exposure film to show these marks.

Anyone have any ideas that I may have missed reading in the last thread.

I will bring the 2 photo's along to the next Melbourne ASWA meeting.

Regards,

     Some beautiful CU forming this morning to the east of Nowra(JB).
Looking at it, you could almost call it a cell, but, although it looked 
impressive and there were all the right signs nothing much  happened either 
on radar in real time. Syd Wx radar showed only light precip. in the area 
but there was quite a bit of buildup/classic storm  s%^t happening.
     Anybody in Wollongong or Sydney notice the same sort of thing happening 
around their way?
                          Regards
                                Shaun.

Hi Shaun and all

Yes, I did see these cells alright. I first noticed them on radar about 9am
and watched them track up the coast a fair way offshore. The interesting
thing was that about 10:30am the anvil from one of the storms(I am using
that term cautiously) was overhead!!! As Anthony Cornelius pointed out to me
on IRC, this would be possible given the upper level circulation around the
upper low just offshore, causing SE flow, and an offshore anvil to be blown
over land. At this point, I decided to go for a drive down to the beach, and
found a magnificent lookout at Newport on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The
system was quite substantial but it was easily 100km offshore, so no
features could be made out at all. However, the anvil direction was the most
amazing part of these showers/storms to me, as you don't often see that in
winter.

After this moved out, the rest of the day was dead boring with Cu Hu around
and DP of 5C...

Matt Pearce

With apologies for the time these take to load, here are the first 15
images of the damage from the Milawa tornado of last night 9/9/2000.
For those of you outside Victoria, Milawa is a crossroads town on the
way to the snowfields just east of Wangaratta.

More pics will be available tomorrow.

Many thanks to Ross Buscall for the information that he managed to glean
from the locals (half of whom he seemed to know!), the publican (who let
us sit on the floor in the corner to download the images onto computer,
where we had to duck every time one of the pool players needed to make a
shot from the NE end of the pool table), and Macca for his
videoing...not forgetting the locals who were *more than willing* to
share information with us.  More information will become available when
I do the transcript of everything that I recorded on the tape recorder
today.

     Thanks "Pearce" for what it was doing further north visually. After the 
clouds moved further north from my view we only had blue sky with the 
extremely infrequent idiot jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft 
(which I find detestable). Otherwise the weather, if you could call it that, 
was extremely uninspiring. Hoping for some more activity like last week so I 
can flash up the camcorder and hope to <finally work out what the hell I'm 
doing>(they were my wife's words, please disregard her comments as I do).
     get another good video of some CC and CG.
                                              Cheers
                                                   Shaun.
