noelm Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Not too sure how wide this storm is, but, currently, there’s wild lightning, heavy rain and very strong winds here in the southern Illawarra, pretty amazing (and somewhat scary) seeing the lightning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 It’s all over, moved out to sea, then south, pretty exciting while it was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 No, all good now, just distant lightning, little wind and drizzling rain, it was like a tornado thing, just came over, black, wind, rain, horrendous lightning, then just as quick, moved away, seemed very local, my mate lives about 10k away and he said there was just lightning and some rain, almost no wind……go figure.

noelm Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Clear sky now, must have been a narrow band of “crap” at one point, the wind was howling, here, yet I could see the smoke at Port Kembla going straight up! The wind came from the SW for 10 minutes, then almost due east, then north, then nothing. Edited August 28, 2023 by noelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I was down on The Basin as the clouds and thunder rolled over the hills that sent me packing. It eventually passed to the west of us heading northeast, hitting from Nowra and up. We just got a few spots and enough thunder to set the dogs off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Just heard a man was struck by lightning at Albion Park, and over 4,000 lightning strikes were recorded in that short time the storm was raging, no idea who or how they count lightning strikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
