Thunder Rolls

Very appropriate that you put this photo up this month… as I sit here looking at the ASWA calendar. ;-) I’ve always loved this photo of yours with its brilliant colour and surreal cloud formation… one of my all time favourites. :-D

Yes this is framed & on my wall :D it was also printed in the Australian Severe Weather calender for 2007. We sure did get this storm, my house is on the left near those trees.

Thanks Helen :D It certainly was surreal that day!

Fantastic image, deinfately one for the wall, very well done.

Okay – that’s just unreal Jules!!
Perhaps I need to head north this year for a good ole fashioned storm chase!!
Even when we DO get them here there’s just too many darn mountains to see this kind of sight..

Lucky devil!!!

I just love this .. ahhhhhh

Kel, come on up & join me for Thunder Down Under 2007, I’m going chasing for a couple of weeks mid October throughout SE Qld & northern/central NSW…........ but knowing my luck we’ll probably get supercells here at home LOL!!!!
