Since your past post, there has been more flooding. The events you refer to were extraordinary and follow flooding in February. Now another flood event! And in all this Victoria continues deep into drought. I guess such contrasts are not uncommon in Australia but this drought in Victoria has been long lived with few short breaks.
The work you did on the tropical cyclone maps and since then the tropical cyclones main web page has added fresh looks and ideas on there well worth investigating. Well done on all you have done and I understand the immense amount work that goes into such projects.
Finally, I guess we are looking at the last month for Imelda’s pregancy and weekly visits to the hospital for the usual check ups. The scans at least show nothing abnormal and the weights are to be expected. Life will change with that birth and the added responsibility that comes with it!
Haven’t much chasing lately. The last chase was when I got this lightning shot across the road:

Firstly, great news in terms of the temporary visa being granted to Imelda and Kimberly yesterday. We were very surprised since we got this with little fuss! Thanks to the assistance you and David provided in references.
Next step is permanent residency. The pregnancy is going well with the baby due in mid-May – very exciting indeed. The baby is kicking wildly now! Everything in tests seem normal including the heart rate.
In the other news, I must say finally I was really excited about the storm chase last Monday intercepting the classic supercell with very impressive structure! Pity that structure did not last for long before it went into a slow decline. Nevertheless the Sydney area did not have any storms predicted so really it was a marginal situation. I was watching things unfold from my desktop and also watched twice as the storm tried really developed about an hour earlier. Then it basically sent up an impressive explosive updraft and organised rapidly.
