I did mate because the truth of the matter is, it isn't good timing at all! Good timing for peak storms and moreso peak PHOTOGRAPHY opportunities is sunset onwards. But it's good timing for afternoon stuff for sure. Got nailed at TTP with that late lil red core with intense winds, huge drops, pea sized hail and some big close bolts. Observed more storms earlier further south with good bolts too.

Main line still to come, I leave for airport at 8pm so that ain't good timing either! But should see something before that. Classic mid level thundery day today. Much like Jan 3rd 2005 for those that remember.

Had a little rain, 1.8 mm and some thunder this arvo at home. Cats are in hiding, one is under the kitchen table and don't know where the other one is.

As of 4:00 PM it is looking quite dark to the west.

Classic Lower level Cumulus/CB/Storm stuff in hills from heat and instability here TS, not middle level here!

Brilliant shot btw Dave!!

Hi Tim, yes i know mate and understand people gravitate to those they (know), people are visible when they log in (so to speak), if they choose not to reply at least give a few mins b4 replying or NOT too next, "(very obvious)" ..

Other than that very happy my friend..

Yep, ALL train services are out due to a lightning strike taking out the signalling system. If you get a train home from work, i would start planning alternative transport

Looking very dark to the west as I'm on the way home on the bus.

4.4mm in 6 minutes at minlaton with wind gusts up to 81km/h.

watch as it splits LOL

Cloud to west of here looks like broken mammatus.

Wife says pouring at Airport.

Looks like a guster starting to develop between Glenelg- Cristies beach .

I'll sign off as i dont have the maps or models you have and feel out of place!! bit like internet poker (lots of chips) how are you - not many chips ( who was that) thing!!

Take care all and hope ill meet up when im more financial..

adelaide looking good atm hope it doesnt die.

Yeah theres a bit of a weakness in the middle of this band! Hoping some of that chunkier stuff to the north drops down! CBD looks like getting the weaker stuff, hoping to catch stronger stuff to the north!

Well that guster didn't go far ! Still trying to organize itself . No lightning visible yet.
One thin CG just seen out to sea.

Its all moving SE guys.... the most intense part of that line is heading straight for Adelaide...

Hope ya right Tim! Car needs a wash, so does the dog come to think of it!

Stargate...you don't need to be financial to enjoy this forum and access many maps and charts. There are also many links that posters add to their posts to help others, even l'il old me, to keep up with what some of the more experienced members discuss.
Have a flick through this and other states posts and have a gander at the many links posted. It is fun

Yeah stick around StarGate. I'm no weather expert, but I still have a go. I'm often wrong but it's fun!

You can get access to plenty of stuff without money also

Jeez, wind has just smashed into us here out of nowhere!! No storms or anything in the near vicinity, just gusty gusty winds! Is this some sort of outflow wind or something? (Don't laugh at me if I'm completely wrong )

Anyway, this arvo in town was very interesting. I was in a tute in the top story of the new UniSA building on North Terrace so I was able to watch it all roll in and watched as a massive flang crashed into the train control building a couple of hundred metres away, which took out all the trains. The rain was being blown in sideways from the wind and there was a decent amount of 1cm or so hail.
