It looked pretty savage here in Eight Mile Plains on Brisse South side ... Lots of wind and tremendous lightning ground strikes. Unplugged all the electrical gear. Only a bit of rain & no hail here.
Not enough to interrupt our home cooked Pizza dinner. I cracked a bottle of Riddock Coonawarra Cab Sav. as we watched the display.
Speaking of luck during Thursday nights storm we received some small hail while other areas of the village received tennis ball size hail stones. Glad because we just had a new solar hot water system installed.
