There were a few buildings that had there roofs partly torn off and they are describing it as a 'willy willy' as this is what some witnesses saw. To me it sounds like a tornado and just another typical poor report by the media on the subject. Have you heard anything of this Carolyn?

Just beend own town and didn't even hear it as gossip. there was more noise than anything last night and yesterday afternoon. But it did pour about 5pm yesterday. I know it was sounding impressive about 11.30pm, but couldn't make out much then. :-) Other than that it is a beautiful day today, no sign of the storm.

Also known as W32.Badtrans.B at mm and W32.Badtrans at MM, Win32.Badtrans.29020 is a worm spreading via e-mail. The worm replies to all unread messages and attaches itself using a name constructed from three parts. The first part is one of the following strings: fun Humor docs info Sorry_about_yesterday Me_nude Card SETUP stuff YOU_are_FAT! HAMSTER news_doc New_Napster_Site README images Pics The second part is chosen from the following list: MP3 ZIP DOC The virus adds another extension to the attachment and selects it from two possible types: pif scr When a user opens the attachment, the worm copies itself to the Windows System directory as: Kernel32.exe and modifies the registry in order to execute it at the next reboot: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\RunOnce\Kernel32 = kernel32.exe Additionally, Win32.Badtrans.29020 worm drops a 5632-byte file KDLL.DLL in the Windows System directory. Detection for this worm has been added to Computer Associates antivirus solutions. Install the latest relevant update to ensure protection. For more information, please visit our Virus Encyclopedia. Similar to other worms that have recently been spreading in the wild (such as Nimda and Aliz), Badtrans.29020 also exploits a known security exploit in Internet Explorer. When a user views an HTML e-mail carrying the worm, Internet Explorer may launch the attached program executing the Badtrans.29020 code. This is due to the "Incorrect MIME Header" vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 5.5.

Watching the constant strikes on the TWC lightning tracker as they came across from western SA, through SA then into Vic and heading straight towards Melb last time I checked yesterday pm. The morning has started with an overnight low of 21.6 at North Wollongong, with the temp up to 22.6 at 5:30am when I left to run to work. Let me tell you, by how much sweat I lost in the one hour run, it feels like it would be somewhere close to 18-19 DewPoint atm. Unfortunately the high level cloud seems to have thickened up a little since I left home this morning, but hopefully this will burn away soon and let some serious heating get underway. If I could make a request though, as always I am fairly blind to what is going on as I don't have any net access at work, so could anyone who is monitoring what is going on send me an email if there is some storm activity approaching the Illawarra area. I will be taking every opportunity to cast my eyes skyward today and will hopefully spot it when things start to get interesting, but any updates will be greatly appreciated. Me thinks the works ute will be borrowed today if something really worthwhile pops up. Please send to me work address above, or call me on (02) 4275 6494. Good luck everyone, and hopefully the TDU crew have themselves in position for some monstrous LP supercells that will spawn the stuff dreams are made of. Looking forward to hearing of good news during the day.

Hi guys and gals,

It has begun down here. A nice little cell about to cross the escarpment, with the main area of lightning activity due west of about Wollongong CBD. Can't quite make out what the storm is doing, but I'm guessing the main centre of activity is sliding NNE, but with remains drifting E'ly. A nice looker as it has formed up, a thick mammatus anvil underside which has spread out quite fast to the East and North. It's gonna be a big afternoon.

Andrew Godsman

One of those 4 inch an hour cells passed just 2 km northeast of me (Seven Hills).Appeared there was an intense hail shaft on its southern flank. There was no rotation. Westerly winds prior to and with the storm cells reached about 60 or 70 km/hr but now have dropped and appear to be turning east to southeast..a seabreeze, or has that low pressure system/trough passed over? I think it might have. Barograph rose 4 millibars in a few minutes.

I have recorded only 0.2mm of rain.It seemed the local bird life was enjoying a ride..looked like a flock of ravens at least 1500 feet above the ground..a rare sight...Sun's out now,temp 32 and dewpoint's jumped from 12 to 18.

It seems that it's all over down at Wollongong for a while at least. The cumulous seem to be topping out at a much lower level now than earlier, so maybe a stronger cap has developed. Does radar show anything else forming further behind this line of storms to affect us later today? Or is the southerly buster making it's way up the coast soon?

Hopefully I'll be out of here in time to set up my little pc camera and start a timelapse of any later action. Almost set to place reviews on my web page a la Michael Bath's effort for timelapse sequences of the day.

This morning's sounding out of SSY showed very good lapse rates and good but shallow low-level moisture. The flow field also showed good turning and sufficient shear for supercells. For all LI fans, LI was -6.8, but this number does not account for the lack of moisture depth. Especially close to the coast (best moisture depth) I trust there will be some large hail reports. LCL seems a bit high for those swirly things ATM. The latest (02:32 UTC) VIS shows a NE-SE oriented line of anvils that increase in size the closer the underlying storms are located to the coast. Moisture depth is the only real issue here with a surface low in SE AUS accounting for low-level lift. The dewpoints right along the coastline N of Sydney look pretty good, leading to a very simple chase strategy. 04:20 UTC radar shows a 55+ dBZ cell ~20 km west of Newcastle, another at ~55 km W of Newcastle, and two cells 50-70 km S and SW, respectively. The moisture depth improves towards Bulahdelah (NSW), but I have no shear info. How cold was the outflow from those cells??

Two dead in storm

From AAP
03dec01

TWO people were reported killed and a number of others injured, some by falling trees in severe storms which have swept across Sydney.

Roads were also blocked, power cut to thousands of homes and train lines cut as damaging winds reached 175kph.

Two people were trapped under a fallen tree at Crosslands Reserve on Somerville Road, near Hornsby Heights, in the city's north around 2.40pm, the NRMA CareFlight said.

Ambulance officers later reported the two had been killed, the NRMA Careflight said.

Two children had also suffered minor injuries, apparently in the same incident, it said.

A mother and her baby were injured when a tree hit their car in Queen Street, Campbelltown, south-west of Sydney, an ambulance spokesman said.

A crane was needed to pull the tree off the wreckage and rescue the 25-year-old woman and 18-month-old baby, the spokesman said.

The woman suffered serious injuries, while the baby escaped with only injuries to its arms, he said.

Both have been taken to Liverpool Hospital.

The storm appeared strongest north of Sydney, he said.

"There have been a number of cases in that area where people have had trees fall on them in their car," the spokesman said.

One woman was hit by a tree that toppled onto a church on the Pacific Highway, Hornsby, an ambulance spokesman said.

Also in Hornsby, a man was injured when a shop awning was ripped off its hinges.

Emergency calls were still coming in, the spokesman said.

"We have been stretched but we are able to handle it," he said.

A small child had also been swept into a drain at Cronulla, in Sydney's south, the spokesman said.

"The child is safe, which is remarkable," he said.

Meanwhile, at Luddenham, west of Sydney, a man slipped three or four metres off a roof during the storm, he said.

Fire services reported part of the roof of Hornsby hospital had blown off.

Bureau of Meteorology spokesman Philip King said a line of storms streaked across the Sydney metropolitan area causing winds of up to 175kph.

It only took between about 12.30pm and 2.30pm (AEDT) for the storms to cause their trail of destruction, he said.

"They caused severe down blast winds," he said.

He said the storm came in from the Illawarra area in the south and swept across the metropolitan area, extending as far west as the Blue Mountains.

The storms were now in the Hunter area, but most had moved out to sea.

The storm has affected the overhead cabling and signal systems on CityRail lines and this is expected to cause continued problems with train services.

Services both ways between Sutherland and Helensburgh on the Illawarra-South Coast line, Hornsby and Epping on the northern line, and Sydenham to Glenfield on the East Hills line, will be replaced by bus services and commuters will experience delays of up to 90 minutes today.

The Hornsby-Gordon service will also be replaced by buses, and delays of up to one hour are expected while the Richmond to Mulgrave replacement bus service will run 45 minutes behind regular train schedules both ways.

Regular commuters are urged to call 131 500 or check the cityrail.nsw.gov.au website before leaving work to get details and are urged to consider alternative arrangements.

Energy Australia reported that 50,000 customers were without electricity as a result of the storms.

Those affected were spread over 75 suburbs to Sydney's north and south with the worst affected in Hornsby and along Sydney's northern beaches.

"It seems there have been some pretty destructive winds - we've got reports of powerpoles snapping," a spokesman said.

"It may be quite some time until all of our customers are reconnected and it's very hard at this stage to say when that will be."

Around 1pm I headed out to my favourite lookout at Acron Oval , St Ives where I managed to get some awesome Photos and Video of the storm that passed over the City before our one hit. I have never seen so many "flangs" in my life in Sydney before. Lightning was pulsing easily 6 to 7 times perfectly to the West of the City and then gradually over it. And yes I am very happy to say that I have heaps of Photos including some awesome day time lightning photos which I hope to have developed shortly. Whilst there I managed to see the cell over the city form a spectacular Gust Front/ Wall Cloud .. why Im not sure .. well I wasnt close enough to it and I haven't had a chance to look at the footage yet closely. It was around 130pm or so that I heard a loud crack and look to my West to see a very dark RFB closing in on me... I ran to the car park and witnesses some of the most awesome CG's and instantanious thunder I have heard in ages.... they were striking all round the oval with some awesome Bolts front as far high as I cold look to the ground in front. The Thunder was a deafening Rifle crack boom that was the loudest I had heard in ages.... I then managed to get a better view to the west were I could see the heaviest rain/hail curtain I have seen with alot of low cloud motion being picked up by the hail /rain curtain...I could see straight away that it just had that particular severe look to it and proceeded straight home for safety.. about 2 minutes later it hit with the heaviest hail / rain fall I have seen, but the main thing was the Wind.. as soon as the hail hit the wind hit with a wall of white from the NW, bending and snapping trees all over the place. I sat in the car whilst wave after wave of wind / hail hit until about 10 minutes later it calmed down. The back garden was flooded but most of our trees survived. I then went out for a damage assessment and have found the worst hit areas were Wahroonga, Waitara , Hornsby etc..... a summary of damage includes... - Thousands of trees ripped in half or completely fallen over - Trees have ripped power lines and poles everywhere - Power outages all over that could last a while... ( we got power back this morning) - Cars crushed by trees falling - Houses also crushed in sections by huge Gums falling also. It certainly was a very eerie scene as I surveyed the damage. I can only feel sorrow for those people who have suffered so much damage again after Jan 21 1991 major Storm. This one wasn't as bad as Jan 21 but it would be probably the second worse. BTW - Report from the BOM say that just before the storm hit at Richmond the temp was 40c ... 5 minutes later it was 19c !!!!!!

The Thunder was a > deafening Rifle crack boom that was the loudest I had heard in ages.... Just beware, the "loudness" of thunder is mainly an indication of how close you are to the lightning bolt (combined with how good your hearing is/was). "Loudness" is not an indicator of storm strength. [snip] > particular severe look to it and proceeded straight home for safety.. about > 2 minutes later it hit with the heaviest hail / rain fall I have seen, but > the main thing was the Wind.. [snip] > BTW - Report from the BOM say that just before the storm hit at Richmond the > temp was 40c ... 5 minutes later it was 19c !!!!!! These two things combined explain the mode of convection in Sydney yesterday. With pre-storm temperatures/dewpoints on the order of 35/15, descending raincores aloft lead to major evaporative cooling and the formation of a "blob" of dense, raincooled air aloft. That "blob" quickly comes to the realisation that it is awfully heavy, so it decides to accelerate downwards towards the ground. When it "hits" the ground, it spreads out sideways, and due to its speed it is able to snap some trees. Observations that indicate the above concept are: * initially high-based storms * large initial T/Td spread * _cold_ strong outflow from the storms * large T(before storm)/T(after strom) difference I am not a big fan of large T/Td spreads. They lead to significant melting of large hail (only small hail reaches the ground), and surface-based air parcels need to be lifted a long way before they rise moist adiabatically, which reduces the low-level CAPE significantly (and thus the chance for tubes).

Yesterday we also experienced a storm cell with very impressive lightning, I estimated about 15 lightning strikes coming within 1 kilometre of this house. I didn't get any photos, I wasn't brave enough to even go near the windows.

What I would like to know is this.

Twice now we have witnessed lightning strikes really close to the house and not heard any thunder. The first time was a few weeks ago when we saw a lightning bolt running horizontally past our house only to strike the front yard of a house on the other side of the road. Yesterday the same thing happened again, large lightning bolt [though not horizontal this time] and no thunder, otherwise each other strike had the most impressive thunder we have heard for many years.

At Franklins the Back Dock Receiver was standing just inside the door watching the storm and he told Adam that he had just seen an huge lightning bolt strike the carpark in Bungan Lane and that he also heard no thunder. Can anyone explain this lack of thunder?

Otherwise we had two very brief, less than 1 minute, showers of rice size hail, at 3.08 pm and 3.15 pm, and 2.5 mm of rain.

Mona Vale Road was blocked by fallen trees near Bonds Nursery for several hours

Betta Fire Protection in Brookvale lost the front wall from a two storey building

Barriers around a building site in Narrabeen were left leaning towards the traffic

Mona Vale Hospital had to use their back up power while the power was off - ours was off from 2.30pm to 7.15pm

Wakehurst Parkway blocked in several places by trees

All the traffic signals in this area were blacked out for several hours

Truman Ave Cromer had all wires down

Numerous wires down in the suburbs of Cromer, Wheeler Heights, Belrose and Terry Hills

At on stage there were 130 jobs that hadn't even been called yet and late last night the crews were still working to remove trees and wires from back streets.

Similar to yesterday, the best convection should hug the coast. Convection should extend inland to the NW with increasingly higher bases away from the coast. The primary severe mode should again be strong outflow. I am not sure how far N the activity will spread, but I don't expect QLD to see much of it. Any other opinions?

Hi,

I am warning to you all that last Clyve Herbert email was a virus infection with empty msg body and attachment. It was infected with W32.Badtrans.B at mm. Please do NOT open it. It was subject of Severe thunderstorms hit Adelaide. I didn't know this email was a virus, when I was opened it, it was empty, even attachment was empty but it did saved it into Document directory. While Kdll.dll and KERNEL32.EXE was saved into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. When this activate itself, it send the log file into keystroke log. So when I or someone press any key on keyboard, then virus start to spread it all over the hard drive and damaged the programs. This Norton Antivirus did not updated the definition till a week later. So I updated it and then it finally detected on one of clyve email and it did quarantine it till it has been deleted. So I did the full scan, found 3, one repaired, 2 couldn't, could not quarantine it, could not deleted it, still infected. NAV kept popping up while I press keystroke as NAV denied the access every time. So I got to NAV website, got all manual removal detail, reboot to safe mode, scan it over again, it did quarantine these at last, deleted it, then deleted kernel KERNEL32.exe off the registry. Now its clean again. So was it Adam sent virus email to Clyve by mistake?

So please make sure you didn't receieved any kind of Adam or Clyve email with that subject on Clyve email. If you have received it, please delete it. If you have been opening the Clyve email or Adam email with virus infection, then its too late, you need to get instruction for manual removal from NAV to get it all removed or other website antivirus company. Hope you do have your own antivirus scanner.

G'day all,

I'll make it very simple on all members of this group who are worried about email attachments from me. Basically, anyone who knows me knows i send very few email attachments, if any. This virus is a pain in the butt, i have so far got the virus back 6 times and counting.

My computer is clean at this time and i am not expecting to have virus problems again. I find it funny that ppl on weather may have got the virus from me, as i only send emails to auswx, not individuals. I am sorry for any concerns.

Hoping for storms this arvo, but will have to wait

Cheers

Adam

We live in a building with an excellent lightning rod which is hit many times per year. We know when it is hit because the lightning is incredibly bright, we sometimes see molten metal falling from the rod (like when workmen are welding above), and there is no sound of thunder - sometimes just a fairly quiet zapping kind of sound as built-up discharges let go - and then one hears the much quieter echoes of the thunder as it comes back from the buildings across the river. On the other hand, when the building 50 metres from ours is hit, there is an instantaneous FLANG as the FLash and the bANG go off together. Then the thunder is deafening. The reason for this is simple. The thunder sound is caused by a shockwave as the air through which the lightning passes explodes from being heated hotter than the surface of the sun. As this shockwave moves outwards it is initially just a super-loud "bang". This sound then echoes off everything else around and produces the rumbling sound which we know as thunder. If you are within the area where the lightning is actually striking, the sound is moving outwards away from you and you just don't hear it. Depending on the objects around you, you may or may not hear the reflected sound of the thunder echoing back to you later.

Hi Tim,

Would this have been due to the position of the trough. Down in Wollongong we had strong S-SE winds all day which only got stronger as the day went on. If the trough was positioned correctly, Newcastle and possibly even Maitland might've been positioned on the south side of the trough and copped cooler S winds during the later parts of the day, while Jerry's Plains and Singleton might not have seen the trough until later in the day during which time the temp was able to get much higher. I could be completely off the mark with this as I didn't see any weather charts during the day.

Cheers
Andrew Godsman

Just log onto any of the default Austnet servers in mIRC's server list. Click on the icon at the top of mIRC with the hammer. This will bring up the options menu. Click on connect. Where it says IRC servers, select Austnet. Pick Random AU server or anything else that's there. They all usually work. Fill in a name - don't use your real name, and then put in an email address - do not use your real one. You can use your real name and real email addresss but if you do that any one on the IRC network has access to it. Lastly, fill in the nick name you want to use, and then a backup nickname. Tick invisible mode. Then click on connect. If your internet connection is working you should have no problems connecting. Windows XP has no settings which should block you from connecting to Austnet. If you have a firewall, you might have to give mIRC permission to connect to the internet. After you connect just type /join #weather and then hit enter, and it should bring you onto the channel. You will see me there for sure, dactyl. If you want to speak privately with someone you know just type /msg cylcone or whoever, and a private window will open.

To avoid infection problems, update your AV virus definitions. This nasty little bug looks to wreak havoc if it spreads. Info pasted below. Regards, Carl. W32.Goner.A at mm Discovered on: December 4, 2001 Last Updated on: December 4, 2001 at 01:00:44 PM PST Due to the increased rate of submission and level of damage, Symantec Security Response is upgrading W32.Goner.A at mm from Category 3 to Category 4. W32.Goner.A at mm is a mass-mailing worm that is written in Visual Basic. The worm has been compressed using a known Portable Executable (PE)* file compressor. The worm can spread its infection using the ICQ network as well as by email using Microsoft Outlook. If IRC is installed, this worm can also insert mIRC scripts that will enable the computer to be used in Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. Type: Worm Infection Length: 38,912 bytes Virus Definitions: December 4, 2001 Threat Assessment: Wild: High Damage: Medium Distribution: High Damage: Payload: Upon execution Large scale e-mailing: Send itself to all users in Outlook Address Books Deletes files: Attempts to delete several files, including NAV Distribution: Subject of email: Hi Name of attachment: Gone.scr Size of attachment: 38,912 bytes In the background, the worm starts iterating the Microsoft Outlook address book and sends itself to all addresses in the address book. The email appears as follows. The worm has been packed using a known Portable Executable (PE) packer. The size of the worm unpacked is approximately 159 KB. The worm adds the value C:\%SYSTEM%\gone.scr C:\%SYSTEM%\gone.scr to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run NOTES: %SYSTEM% is the path to the Windows System folder. In most cases this would be C:\Windows\System; however, the location could be different if the Windows System folder has been installed to a different location. The key has the same value as the name of the file that is being called. Once the registry key has been added, the worm will try to delete files of common anti-virus and firewall products. If the files are in use and cannot be deleted, the worm will create the file %SYSTEM%\Wininit.ini, which causes the files to be deleted when the computer restarts. W32.Goner.A at mm is capable of spreading over the ICQ network. If ICQ is installed on an infected machine, the worm will do the following: 1. Check for the version of the ICQ .dll file that contains the APIs that will be used. If the correct version is found, the worm proceeds. 2. Disable all notification. This means that the user cannot see what the worm is doing in the background. 3. Retrieve a list of all "buddies" who are currently online. 4. Retrieve information about each user individually. This information is required to be able to send files. 5. Send itself to all users on the list. 6. Re-enable all notifications. If mIRC is installed, this worm can insert scripts into the mIRC folder. This allows the computer to be used in DOS attacks. Removal instructions: To remove this worm, you must first reverse the changes that the worm made to the registry, restart the computer, reinstall NAV, and then run a full system scan and delete all infected files. Edit the registry: CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you back up the system registry before you make any changes.

The same PE-format executable can be executed on any version of Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, and 2000. Therefore, all PE files are executable, but not all executable files are portable. A good example of a Portable Executable is a screen saver (.scr) file. ~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Smith. Gold Coast. Queensland. Australia.

We had ESE winds that blew on the coast and in the lower Hunter for most of the day, while the upper parts of the Hunter had WNW winds. A cold front, which proceeded the trough line, passed through on Monday night, but only effected the areas within 30-40 km from the coast. As you worked out, the trough line didn't move fully over the Hunter until late Tuesday afternoon at about 6:30pm.

Cheers,

RE: aus-wx: Temperature variations in the Hunter
Hi Tim,

Would this have been due to the position of the trough. Down in Wollongong we had strong S-SE winds all day which only got stronger as the day went on. If the trough was positioned correctly, Newcastle and possibly even Maitland might've been positioned on the south side of the trough and copped cooler S winds during the later parts of the day, while Jerry's Plains and Singleton might not have seen the trough until later in the day during which time the temp was able to get much higher. I could be completely off the mark with this as I didn't see any weather charts during the day.

Cheers

Subject: aus-wx: Temperature variations in the Hunter

G'day all,

For those who maybe interested, the Hunter had a large temperature
variation yesterday (4/12/01) with Newcastle Uni only recording 25°C
while Jerrys Plains recorded 37°C. Even though 12°C difference is not
too abnormal between Newcastle and Jerrys Plains, the temperature
differences between Maitland and Singleton was 8°C . Maitland recorded
27°C while Singleton recorded a top of 35°C. I have not seen such a
variation between Maitland and Singleton for quiet some time. Usually
the greatest deviation between the Singleton and Maitland temps is not
much more then about 3°C during any given day in the summer.

Cheers,

Hearing thunder out in the middle of nowhere in SA backs this up. As for why you don't hear the thunder during a real close lightning strike, this is because the initial pressure wave is not audible since it travels outwards faster than the speed of sound. However, this pressure wave eventually slows some distance from the lightning bolt and then becomes audible as thunder.

I live at Freemans Reach, Sydney's outer north west. I was called out to a bushfire in our area ( I'm in a rural fire brigade) at 13.05 on Monday. I located the seat of the fire about 10mins later for incoming crews, as the first tankers arrived the wind had started to calm considerably, I noticed the storm was heading pretty much straight to where we were fighting the fire,then the wind stopped and the lightening started the most intense I had seen they seemed to be pulsing for several seconds from cloud to ground although I was busy with the fire at hand most of the strikes I did not hear. Needless to say it was a bit scary. A short while later I noticed the rumbling rolling thunder and the winds picked up and were quite gusty. Only to hear on the radio network of the enormous damage the was being reported by brigades as the storm front went through. There was no wind damage were I was but only a km or 2 away there was trees and all sorts of things down. Shame I could n't have observed it better.

I see the distinct possibility of strong convection in the area. The 20011207/0000 UTC surface analysis can identify a (frontal) boundary draped from SE NSW through N of Wagga, N of Broken Hill into NE SA. A thermal ridge is beginning to form behind the morning convection along the Cobar-Bourke axis in NSW, with surface temps approacing 30 C. Surface dewpoints ahead of the boundary are all OK, with improvements towards the NE. The area N of BBN sits on Td ~ 20 C (expected to mix out to around 16-17 C later), the area around CBT has Td ~ 15 C (expected to mix out towards 10 C, or be pushed out by the boundary). The upper pattern shows a jet running across all of NSW, with generally 50+ knots at 500 hPa anywhere in the E-W corridor between BCV and SWG. PWR (Woomera) points towards a potential increase in the mid-level flow sporting 85 knots at 2300 UTC, leading to more than sufficient shear for supercells. If I had spare time I'd park between Dubbo and Bourke, and move NE with the "show" (if applicable) later.

Main areas of lightning activity are between Dubbo and Bourke (this virtual chase would have worked out for me), E of West Wyalong and the Yass/Goulburn area. Given the strong upper-level flow the convection might be quite entertaining in the hours to come. The mid-level temps are better to the south, but the low levels (T,Td) favour the Bourke-Dubbo convection. The "play" is cells ahead of the forming line, or gaps in the line.

Included on page 2 is what myself, and fellow TDU guys I chased with believe is a tornado.It is under a shelf cloud for starters, buttttttttt there could easily have been an updraught region on the other side of it that we could not see, judge for yourself.

hi all,

stayed up for a while last night searching for comet WM1 somewhere near pisces/cetus area. left it a little too late b4 it set after midnight. a couple of minor lightning shows caught my attention to the far south. they were very quick to move east out of sight. but i did manage to get a few photos and a couple of captures:

http://www.virtualchaser.com/steve/pictures/01120802.jpg

it died from lightning every 5 seconds to nuthing whatsoever instantly. by this time jupiter was directly over head. so i got my 4" telescope out, and it was the clearest view i've ever had of it. the two main bands were clearly visible and the great red spot was just visible. i put my video camera to the lense and caught these images for yas.

I generally found that when air pressure has been low, it has been dropping to near and in most cases below or even well below 1000 hpa. With my lowest pressure being 995 hpa just before the storm devastated the Port Stephens area on Sun 18 Nov 2001. When the air pressure has been at it’s peak, it has only been rising to about 1015 hpa which I think is very low, even for this time of year when lower air pressure can dominate. And with air pressure again dropping to 997 hpa as I speak (no storms possible though I believe because of only a 5 C dew-point temperature, personally, I can’t see an end to these conditions. I think that the wild storms around is a sign of things to come for this storm season. Should have sent this message a couple of hours ago, but I sent it to the wrong address. Anyway, now my dew-point temperature has just dipped below zero (pretty rare for this time of year), and air pressure is sitting on 1001 hpa. Cheers, Grant http://shopping.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

I record Set Time Data at 12am, 9am, 3pm, 6pm & 9pm. 2. A graph of the long term average air pressure has also been created for all of the times listed above (ie 5 new graphs). I have also set up 2 other air pressure graphs to show air pressure trends throughout the year on a twice-monthly scale (24 data points per year, or 120 per year as I have done this for all Set Time Data. 3. I have also added several new columns to show highest and lowest averages recorded for Set Time Data. These include: Air Temperature, Humidity, Dew-Point Temperatures, Air Pressure, Wind Speed & Wind Chill Temperatures. NOTE: I still average virtually all of my weather data twice monthly, along with the standard monthly period. No Random Weather Data Additions have been made.

It held so much promise and delivered quite a lot for some....... Unfortunately someone (being me) was to kick a footy through the windscreen of one of the chase cars on this morning so our chase vehicle was out of action and we missed at least 1 supercell (being the LP right mover near Mullaley). Overall a very disappointing and depressing day as the storms really were quite good (although the drier air was definitely noticeable with most of the rain evaporating from storms leaving mostly hail falling from them).

I don't know what it looked like on sat pic though, it seemed very long - but I don't know if it just seemed wider because of the way cells were developing? The convergence line was awesome - I'd never seen such a defined one before!

Almost appropos of nothing, but a couple of days ago, was reading 3 pm Northern Territory observations (get a life!) and noticed a place in the Alice Springs area was reporting its precipitation as sleet.

I was chasing this day with a few of the boys out between Roma and St George where we witnessed one of the most AWESOME lightning displays ever (its been dubbed "flang fest 2001"). I was watching the video of this earlier today and the early parts of the day showed some strong capping but Anthony Cornelius and I came across a well defined convergence line between Roma and Mitchell which looked to help break the cap (well - started to eat away at it) when we were merely 5km from it with the time being about 1pm EST. TCu along this line steadily grew into the storms which later produced this phenomenal lightning show. As for supercells, I'm not sure (and somewhat doubt) that any of the storms we saw were supercells. The sky seemed somewhat cluttered with storms in our area rather than having more isolated convection - there were some largish storms in terms of height (with estimates of about 40,000ft) in the area but nothing really shouted "supercell" at me. I haven't seen any radar or sat pics from that day but I wouldn't be surprised if the convergence line we played that day was not *the* convergence line as I vaguely (very) recall seeing storms develop further W than this line. Apart from the extreme lightning from those storms they also produced some heavy rainfall and some slightly strong winds (not severe). There was one slightly suspicious dust spin up kicked up by a cell closer to St George as witnessed by Matt Smith and James Harris but I think it was decided that it was not tornadic. The only other thing which was marginally interesting was a brief lowering under the flanking line of a cell SSE of Roma which I have on video but would very much hesitate to call it anything but interesting scud. Its always interesting to read your emails to the list Harald - keep them coming.

Bussy,

It rained a fair bit during the night of 11/12, got 4.4mm from about 10:30pm to 5:30am, then another 1.5mm from 5:30am to I'd estimate 8:30am. Clear since then, but I'm hoping for some rain with storms this afternoon.

The anvil is nearly round and measures several hundred kilometres in diameter!! Some of the specs are: (1) Lightning: The system is very lightning active with hundreds of strikes over a timespan of minutes. The lightning display at http://www.weatherzone.com.au/latest/Aus_Lightning.jpg shows (presumably) massive aliasing along a straight line between a GPATS sensor and the actual lightning location (unless you believe in a perfectly linear, cloud-free squall line extending from the Gulf to Bourke)! (2) Moisture: The boundary-layer airmass over the Gulf has been very good for a number of weeks now. Surface dewpoints are generally in the mid-20s (C). A region of dry surface air extends all the way up to the Gulf from the S (for the first time in weeks, IIRC). (3) Temperature: I speculate that the dry intrusion into the Gulf country is a vital ingredient for the occurence of the MCC. The 0000 UTC surface temperature shows mid-30s C at Mount Isa. To the N a pronounced moisture/temperature boundary delineates the cooler and moister Gulf airmass. The deep boundary layer to the S, along with a cross-boundary ageostropic secondary circulation (forced by a cross-boundary theta_v gradient?) might have led to the MCC initiation. (4) Mid-level flow: A weak anticyclone is apparent over the S Gulf, overlaying the N extends of the "Queensland Trough" on the surface. The winds aloft (= 500 hPa) are weak (< 20 kts), as one would expect for a classic non-severe rainy electric MCC... (5) Sounding: YBMA (Mt Isa) 23Z sounding shows steep lapse rates up to 500 hPa, and a large T/Td spread up to 700 hPa. Putting a 30/25 surface parcel from the S Gulf under the sounding gives me more CAPE than I dare mention in public ... My scientific conclusion regarding the event: Wow!

At the software company for which I work, we get a half dozen messages with virus attachments everyday. We delete them as soon as we get them. We have anti-virus programs running on every computer in the company, and we update the virus definitions regularly. The only time I got one of my machines infected was when I had not updated my anti-virus program for about a week, and one of the new, fast-spreading ones hit me. I was able to clean things up before I spread it further. I now have my A-V program update itself automatically every day, and then scan the whole system. Some of these new viruses are especially nasty. Not only will they mail themselves out to anyone in your address book, and search your files for other addresses. They will try to disable your anti-virus software and any firewall set-up you have. Some will even try to plant a back door in your computer so that it will do some hackers bidding with out your knowledge. They will spread not only through e-mail but some chat systems to. To protect yourself from getting a virus you should first get an anti-virus program, update it often and scan regularly. Windows users should never open attachments from those that they do not know, and especially avoid those with .exe .com .bat .scr and .pif extensions. There are other things that you can do to keep bad things from happening to your computers such as patches for your email program and operating systems. I don't want to start a discussion about it here as we are not aussie-anti-virus, but there is lots of information about these matters on the 'net. Jacob and I have looked at various options that we can excersise to prevent viruses from being propagated on the list. Some of them have major disadvantages. We could make the list moderated, which means that every post would have to be approved by one of us. This would be a lot of work for us, and slow down the mail. The software that checks lists for viruses doesn't actually scan each post, but looks for signs. This results in a lot of false positives, and misses some viruses, I'm also not sure if "theWorld" would let me install it on their systems. What will help however, is to enforce the ban on attachments. No signature attachments, no html, no v-cards etc. These attachemts don't really provide any benefit, and can cause a lot of problems. If anyone persists in sending these attachments they will be unsubscribed. If your system automatically adds attachments to the posts find out how to shut it off. We will also unsubscribe anyone who repeatedly sends viruses to the list. We can understand how anyone can get a virus once but more than that shows that they are not taking proper precautions against virii. Every time a virus is sent to the list there is a potential to infect a couple of hundred computers. We also do not want to start a discussion about computer security, vulnerability of the different OS's to bad things, etc. etc. Get A-V software, update it often and run it regularly, and don't just click on any attachment. Beyond that, let's get back to the discussion of weather. Speaking of which, it's been warm and dry here in Boston. At the time of year when we should be getting snow, it was 21C last week. Fortunately, it looks like the patterns may be changing.

I agree with Anthony on the MCS appearance of the Roma convection (as far as one can tell from a VIS image alone). In these situations you've got to find isolated convection early, before every piece of convection is gobbled up by convection city. The shear improved southwards, but appeared to be sufficient for supercells way into QLD. Without ground truth the "indicators" for supercells were mostly environment-related. The environment-storm relationship breaks down when storms begin to "create" their own environment, such as extensive areas of convections / MCSs tend to do.

Regional General Manage Peter Bereicua said field staff battled the severe conditions all night to repair dozens of isolated problems, including restringing more than 10 spans of fallen powerlines at the peak of the emergency. The majority of problems related to trees, roofing and debris being thrown into the powerlines by the lightning, torrential rain and gale-force winds. "Our staff have described last night's storm as the worst they've ever seen," Mr Bereicua said. "Thankfully, we were able to restore power to 95 per cent of customers by 11pm, just under four hours after the storm hit. "Most of the remaining customers had their power restored by 6.30am. "There are still three or four customer without power, however, staff have been dispatched and we expect these individual problems will be repaired very shortly." Affected areas included Dungog, Brandon Grove, Wallarobba, Wangat and surrounding areas. Mr Bereicua apologised for any inconvenience to customers and thanked them for their patience and understanding. "I'd also like to congratulate our local crews on their commitment to doing everything possible to restore power as quickly as possible," he said. If residents in the Dungog area have any further difficulties regarding their power supply, they should contact Country Energy on 13 20 80.

Country Energy's Regional General Manager Peter Bereicua explained that the fault occurred whilst Transgrid staff were upgrading circuit breakers in the substation. The outage occurred at 9.45pm and all customers had their power restored by 10.45pm. "While Country Energy's network was operating effectively at the time, the fault prevented power from being distributed from the Transgrid substation to our power supply network," Mr Bereicua said. "This was an incident beyond Country Energy's control, however, we apologise for any inconvenience to customers," Mr Bereicua said.

Hi Kristi

It's so funny that this topic should be asked for as I accidentally came across some material on it just recently. Here are some sites to help out :)

Love

Surfing a mile high, 1000 km wave

Spectacular, rare, and awesomely powerful,
the Morning Glory of the Gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia is a magnet for growing numbers of soaring pilots and scientists. Unique in all the world and shrouded in mystery, the Morning Glory arrives regularly each spring.

http://www.dropbears.com/brough/index.html

A Guide to the Morning Glory
and the Gulf of Carpentaria
A collection of articles about soaring the Morning Glory, some technical and some decidedly not. There is a modest collection of images of the wave cloud, including a quite amazing satellite picture. There are several articles on Burketown and the Gulf of Carpentaria, including a couple of historical pieces on Sweers Island and the Investigator Tree, and there is quite a lot of information about Far North Queensland and outback Australia. There are pages on various Gulf locations including Undara Lava Tubes and Lawn Hill Gorge, quite a few links to fauna and flora information, and of course the site wouldn't be complete without a page or two on the ubiquitous canetoad. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~brough/

These are brilliant for those who are ridiculously busy & can only grab a glimpse of the conditions. I've included some information & the report on the 1998 Sydney - Hobart Yacht Race along with all of the information on the 1999 Sydney Hailstorm that I've been able to collect. Information can be found liinked on MSC's 'Why Is It So' page http://www.stormchasers.au.com/why.htm Luke Garde (Clifton Springs) sent one of his images for inclusion on the 'Amazing Images' page (see http://www.stormchasers.au.com/vicimages.htm ) - Luke, keep sending them - no instructions needed - just send me images....and the same goes for the rest of the inhabitants of Victoria who'd like to see their photos up there (Tim Eckert - you are a likely candidate!!) - please send in your photos. PS: does anyone have a good photo of a horseshoe vortex? Back to the stratocu..............and the Xmas puddings.

I'm getting them ok. Just nothing happening around here to report. You've had more rain in one day than I've had in the last two months. 7.1 this month and 12mm last month.

It is quiet. Not much action. There's is a bit of stuff going on at the forums at 'www.weatherzone.com.au'. People seem to have decamped and gone over there, of late.

I am hoping for some more thunderstorms today, as we have already had a few heavy showers this morning, with the temperature at 11:00am being 20C with 79%RH and very overcast.

Hi Greg

Good to get a report from on the ground. I observed this storm at the following site

www.marine.csiro.au/~lband/weather/

I like this particular satellite imagery because it shows good detail.

There are currently no storms down your way today because its too cloudy and I notice your 3pm temperature

was only 20C dewpoint 18C. Yesterday I believe Palmerston North was 27C.

looks like we will have this low hanging around all week so there is an ongoing risk of cb development, mainly

over the high country.

Auckland weather 6pm E05kts Ovc Temp22C R/H 70% Baro 1007hpa.

Regards

Steven Williams

Thanks Jane,

That is what i'm after but there is one problem... The SST graph only goes so far up the QLD coast... And I want to find the Temp further up the coast : (

If there is any other chart that goes further up the coast could you please let me know....

Thanks again

Jason

Just tonight I went for a drive with my family to look at xmass lights. I took the camera along and recorded about half an hours worth. As I was filming, I kept thinking that nothing would come out (I recorded the first half on normal day time settings) as the view finder wasn't showing much up. For the second half though I flicked on the 0 Lux night view switch and could then see all the lights pretty clearly (no colour differences though). When playing the footage back through the TV I was surprised at the quality and brightness that showed up using normal settings. The 0 Lux was definitely brighter and again with no colour differences (I think the worst of the two settings). Unfortunately I have still not had a chance to film any night storms (though I remain confident that we may get something over the next couple of days. Steve (or anybody), what should I expect when changing aperture/exposure settings.

For lightning etc - use your normal settings as Steve suggested. When shooting storms etc for news we run the betacam SP as if we were shooting in 'normal' conditions, often stepping up the frame rate so when the strike is replayed it looks to last longer. Tripod is a must for good lightning shots as movement/'low light lag' will result in the bigger (and better!) strikes comet tailing (ie night cricket match when floodlights creep into frame). It's also easier to track the storm's path rather than hand held. If the viewfinder is LCD don't be too worried about colour balance etc. The main thing is to get some framing. Something in the foreground with the storm in the mid/bgd will always look dramatic rather thanjust a wide shot of the sky. This is where aperure comes in. The lower the aperture (more light in) the less the depth of field (foreground focus goes soft) higher aptures increase depth of field. Also experiment with graduated filters (sky blue during electrical storms) or pink/grey for dawn clouds. Of course you can always bring the vision into your computer and adjust within a reasonable range afterwards!

Many "cold air supercells" have mesocyclones and are therefore supercells, and can produce tornadoes and severe weather. Yet, they often have weak updrafts. I disagree though re no strong upward motion, but I guess that is a somewhat subjective opinion! AC Steven Williams wrote: > > How large was the hail?
