Well, yesterday brought severe weather into the SEQLD.

I managed to watch a supercell from out of nowhere to the west of Lake Moogera
And was going to keep chasing it, as it was looking to die out, but it decided to take off again. Looked impressive on the backside, and epic b***y clouds in the anvil.

But I was more interested in storms to the south; there was a severe cell that turned into a squall line on the border rangers , with a real good gust out with stunning whale's mouth at woodhill.

A lot of inner could lightning with that big gust out some short power outages.
