Colder upper temperatures further south, and better timing of southerly change - came through about 930. Last minute chase for me, was at home till I saw 630pm update of windy rain thunder was now expecting storms developing - grabbed the cameras and raced out. By the time I arrived there was flashes visible to the south

Well done mate, a couple of nice bolts from the top of the storm. I did a quick run to Geroa, but it was way too far out and non thundery congestus started building between me and storms. There was a rather sus cell ahead of the pack as well

@michaelkeene3051 3 ай бұрын

I haven't got around to editing the Nyngan chase from November and also the bolts from Hebel that were pretty good. Plus some bolts around Narrabri from last month were just decent enough to whip a video together. Some other random bits and pieces as well. Just tonnes of average footage with no top 30s or severe weather events for me has kept the motivation for editing quite low.
