Winter breaks its banks. Its
taken more than half a decade. The Bremer and other SE rivers and
creeks break their banks, closing roads, flooding vines and flowing
in a way that was forgotten. I snapped a few pics 2 days after the
event which can be seen HERE

Winter is rocking! Finally as
winter ends the season lives up to its name with a widespread hills
deluge. 100mm for the week for me, 220+mm for the month setting
an ALL TIME august record for
the Meadows location. Water is cloaking the countryside in a display
reminiscent of winters of old. Will have a few pics online soon.

Tornado damage pics A few shots
from around the Penola countryside of the tornado damage. See them
HERE.

Small tornado and rain report!
An animation of the Penola tornado radar imagery and some radar
and sat snippets of recent rain events. See more HERE.

Penola walloped by tornado! A
prefrontal cell in the states SE forms what appears to be a tornado
that hammers Penola with significant damage. Hoping to have lots
of pics later but for now you can read about it on ADELAIDE
NOW..

I have been on Holidays. in Tassie,
where it really rains. But winter decided to give us a blast and
taste of some wind and rain here in central SA. First a massive
windy night of gales hammers the hills and coasts leaving a trail
of mess and downed trees behind it. Then a series of fronts drop
some very big falls over the hills of up to a possible 80+mm in
24 hours in some spots. Despite such a drop for many winter rains
are significantly down. Lets hope it keeps going
>>(05-07-10)
A taste of winter. Finally a change
for the better as 2 lows in a week deliver 3 inches to my part of
the hills and even more further north. The unusual northern domination
continues though as frontal systems stay well away from our weather
influences. Even Darwin is still seeing very odd late season storm
activity. Winter down south may feel here in spirit, but in patterns
not quite.
>>(20-04-10)
Yet another northern storm event!.
Floods across the far and mid north as severe thunderstorms lash,
yet again, the northern districts. Couldn't be much finer down my
part of the ranges though!! .Read a bit more about it HERE..
>>(20-04-10)
More on the hills and surounds amazing
earth tremor.. ..Read about it HERE..
>>(20-04-10)
Adelaide and the hills SHAKE in an amazing
earth tremor.. ..Around 11:30pm of the 16th a sound like
a freight train roaring over the roof of my house accompanied by
a high frequency vibration through the earth hit Adelaide and hills.
AMAZING STUFF!!! Stay tuned.
