At least now I know what the hell that was west of us at around 6:15pm. I yelled to my husband: "Come and LOOK AT THIS!!! I don't know WTF it IS, but I'm guessing it's over Epping, and it's moving FAST and scaring the crap outta me!"
ReplyDeleteWho knew it was a tornado? I have quite a few pics on Facebook: I'll put them in order and post them on the blog tomorrow.
That's the one - I have 300 odd photos - when played altogether show some interesting movement.
ReplyDeleteWhen you do post on facebook - contact either here or twitter and I'll link up for you - happy to share!

ReplyDeleteI've set this album to public, so it should be visible to anyone.
Good post, Heather.
ReplyDeleteI've linked to it on my Facebook wall...you have some really good shots of that little storm.
The Epping tornado funnel is the one that intrigues me. I thought I was seeing things watching northward to one lot of clouds...but this confirms the funnel was definite.
You got a pic of it from a different angle, whereas I was looking at it from Coburg North.
Hi Geehall - what sent my alarm into overdrive was the lightning coming from the leading edge and why I left hubs in charge of the remote and tweeted what I saw. It was scary watching it from a distanced, Couldn't imagine being under it.
ReplyDeleteMy views up here are amazing, almost 360' views, which is why I got as many shots as I did.
Thanks for the link-up appreciated
