Mathew,

Quite serious storms in some of those - the bases of the first couple indicate some solid bases and certainly look supercellular! Can you write some descriptions describing the events when you get time and perhaps attach the photographs to the appropriate threads.

Awesome!

Regards,

Jimmy Deguara

Yes, that's a great view of the (initially) LP Supercell that dropped very large hail over parts of eastern Lismore on 30th December. Some of those pics should go in the 27 - 31 Dec 2008 thread.

Yes it is. That severe thunderstorm (may class as a supercell) was racing towards us very fast and produced large hailstones in the area.

Here some more photos including one of the best daytime cgs!
