Hi Ben and everyone.

Saw the footage of the damage on Ch 7 - unmistakably a tornado - wreckage
strewn over quite an area along the path, with little left intact.

The caravan was totalled and thrown a few hundred metres, along with a few
sheds and other stuctures - caravan resident spoke about seeing his dog get
sucked several hundred feet straight up.

I am sure if you ring around up there you will find out more.

No 'm' word used in that Ch7 report :-)

Regards,
Carl.

These are great photos!  This shelf is very well organized but I do find it
fascinating that there are so many of these ragged lowerings.  Here in the
states these are not uncommon but I can't recall having seen anything quit
like this.  It has been my experience (and I have used it in publications
with Chuck D) that there are commonly three layers associated with shelf
clouds.  Each is rather distinct and the first and highest extends farthest
ahead of the line, the next two layers are 'reversed stair step' if you
will, each a smooth, laminar and lower layer and each extending a shorter
distance ahead of the line.

But these are indeed terrific photos.  I very much like the point you
picked to shoot these from as well.  That adds to the scene for me, having
never been to Australia.

Keep up the great work, Michael!

jane and the list,

A recognized standard in NATO countries is "z" or "zulu" time = GMT = UTC,
suspect this one is international too - stems from the days when Greenwich
was "station Zulu"

Any screen captures and times on this PC are always "HHMMz" - not so
important from Sunday when the clocks go back (to GMT)

Hi Everyone,

I photographed some very funnel shaped features on a heavy shower to my SW
around 7am this morning - a series of pictures is below

http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/temp.html

Sorry about the quality of the zoomed in shots - my camera reset itself, and
i forgot to turn infinity focus back on.

The first 3 shots show a dissipating guster.  I was looking at some stuff to
the east, then turned around and saw the funnel shaped lowering in the next
3-4 pics.   As you can see another funnel shaped feature developed behind
that one.  All these pics, after the first 3, are taken over a period of
around 3-4 mins - so it was all developing and dissipating extremely
quickly.

At the time i thought funnel - but after consulting some much more
experienced weather watchers, i have come to the conclusion that they're
inflow features feeding into a gust front.

Anway it was quite exciting at the time, and i thought it may have been of
interest to people

I also have some pictures of a possible tail cloud feeding into a wall cloud
above a >MOFO< rain foot from a severe storm near Warwick on Wednesday,
which i will sort out and upload today sometime

<DIV>Hi Evelyn, everyone</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>There are already some lumpy totals in parts of central coastal QLD (and i 
imagine there will be similar falls in central inland parts when the 9am totals 
come in tomorrow).&nbsp; In the 6 hours between 9am and 3pm Roma has had 40mm 
(the farmers will be loving that), Rollyingston 40mm, St Lawrence 27mm and 
Yeppoon has had over 68mm&nbsp;- a breakdown Yeppoons rain is:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>A&nbsp;whopping 37mm in 38 minutes between 1:52 and 2:30pm</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>A rainrate of about 48mm/h in the 2:30pm ob</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>A wind gust to 33 knots in the 2:46pm ob</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Also of note is 25mm in the early hours of this morning at Strathpine (in 
Brisbane - just SW of my location)&nbsp;- most if not all of this would have 
fallen from the shower&nbsp;that&nbsp;produced the funnel shaped lowerings in my 
earlier post.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Queensland is staring down the barrel of a possible major flood event - 
this system is already looking huge on the satellite pictures, and it hasn't 
even peaked yet.&nbsp; AVN, although it was a 72 hour chart, has a low forming 
off the southern coast around the southern end of Fraser Island on Tuesday - if 
this happens there could possibly be huge totals on the sunshine coast and west 
into the Mary river catchment area.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The digi cam batteries are on charge and i'm ready for some serious 
flooding :-)</DIV>

Afternoon all,

Have just found a directory of some of the best educational resources on
the net - at StormTrack (where else?)

Felt that it was worth sharing with you as it covers all knowledge
levels from nil to met student and everything in between.  Well worth a
browse!!

You can either go to http://www.stormtrack.org/links/education.htm or
the Educational section of MSC's Weather Cafe at
http://www.stormchasers.au.com/forecasting.htm

Enjoy!!!

Hi Ben

Tiny correction -- I think these figures came from my Noteworthy AWS
observations page, which has *all* times in EDST, so for Qld you need
to subtract an hour. Therefore the 37mm was in 38mins to 1.30pm.

I'll be doing some work on the auto-updating pages on my site when I
get back from some leave, probably around mid-December. I hope to add
hourly rainfall rates, and convert all times to local clock time. In
the meantime, you need to subtract 3h for WA, 1.5h for NT, 1h for Qld,
0.5h for SA.

Howdy all.

Great action again here today.

1 Severe pulse cell to the NE of Darwin earlier today.

Currently a multicell squall line just going through, with further 
action backbuilding. Could be a good night. Seems that the 
backend of the QLD trough has just about reached the Coast 
(according to 900mb winds) - hopefully it may intensify further with 
more action overenight.

Winds currently from east  at  25 - 30 knots.

Paul in Darwin

Susan from Balmain
On the afternoon of Wednesday the 25/10/00, my son was out doing a bit
of whale watching at a little place called Brooms Head just to the south
of Yamba and east of Maclean which is north east of Grafton.  A very big
storm came up and his description of it was that there was a large
lowering with definate rotation.  He took several photos of the beast
but has not had the photos developed yet.  As soon as they are done I
will scan them in and if they are any good, will post them to this
list.  The storm was most likely travelling up from the Coffs Harbour
region however I wouldnt swear to it, mainly because I didnt think to
ask about direction.
He also said that when the storm did finally hit the rain was so heavy
that it was like a whiteout - with visibility down to around 2 feet.
Said that he had never seen rain like it for intensity.  He also made
mention of strong winds.  Don't think he told me too much of this though
as he was up on an exposed headland about 100 feet above the surf and
rocks in his very heavy ute.  Dont want to panic the mothers too much do
we?   ; )

Hi All

      Silver Valley, a tiny township in far North Queensland experienced a 
tornado this afternoon. Winds apparently reached 200km/hr inside the tornado 
and luckily no houses were destroyed but a tin shed was demolished. This has 
been the first such report of a tornado that I can remember up this far North 
since December 1997 where a number of Waterspouts developed off the coast of 
Townsville. Any ideas as to why this occured?

Hi Everyone,

Some interesting reports starting to filter in now - those who watched
channel 7 or 10 tonight would have seem some very nasty damage in the
northern QLD town of Silver Valley, which is just east of Charters Towers.
The damage included a house very badly damaged/pretty much buggered, an area
of forest with it's trees stripped of leaves, and a small plane blown 30m
from its original location.  A resident said "he walked out the door and saw
it" when the reporter was talking about the Tornado.  Winds were estimated
at 200km/h.

I have uploaded a preminary report on this event, which has the same
information as i have written above, but also has a selection of data for
those interested - including a very interesting radar loop showing the
storm, which splits, and the left mover is the storm that moved over Silver
Vallery.

I have labled it a possible tornado as earlier in the evening there was some
doubt - but hopefully the Townsville BOM will inspect the damage (you would
think they will, it really did look quite nasty) and confirm whether it was
a tornado or not.

Apparently there was also a news report on the ABC tonight showing damage in
the town of Ravenshoe, in the Atherton Tablelands (i think).  The damage
included some sheds 'blown away' and trees stripped of leaves AND branches.
Not sure what day this occured - i presume Saturday.  They also labled it a
'mini tornado'
