Thought I might post up a few photos of the the infamous march 2010 storm in Melbourne.
2010 Victorian storms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saw this crazy supercell aproaching melbourne and drove up to a local look out which I new was close to a little tunnel I could park my car under to protect it from the hail. I coped 1 inch hail, back home a couple of km away my friend had a window cracked, and near my parents place they had 11cm (4 inch+) the largest ever recorded in australian history.
First shot at the carpark with the lookout in the way of most of the action.
after a few minutes walk to the viewing point I got this shot showing the beaver tail (infeed band) that was racing from left to right. Wish I had taken a video although time was short.
Decided to head back after a few minutes, just in time, as I got to the car the sky went "expletive" black!
