Fingers (Brisbane, Queensland)

Fingers (Brisbane, Queensland)

Taken from my front lawn (well till Wednesday when we move) in Cannon Hill, Brisbane, Australia – this was the third massive storm in 3 days that has broken rainfall records in Brisbane for the most rainfall in November since 1981.

The media claims it is the worst flooding since the infamous 1974 Brisbane flood – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Brisbane_flood

Once the storm passed I headed out from my safe haven on the front deck to find this amazing cloud spewing out lightning.

I was out shooting a spot in the area when I saw the storm coming in the distance, so I waited and got a few shots and then rain came. I managed to get past McDs on Wynnum Road into the industrial area to put the full beam on to see where I was headed. Just as I passed Cannon Hill station the hail started and I got in the garage just as it hammered down.

I must thank the neighbours for the light trails.

    Great photo!! And lucky timing, to get the car under protection in time!
    This might easily fit in After Dark,
    but I’d read all their info first if I were you. I didn’t do that, just found the Link.
    Cheers- Dayonda
