More storm season

After a long hot day, 40C, finally a storm passed by, hardly a drop of rain, bugger!
A guy was killed by lightning about 50km from here a few days ago.

We had the same and the same result ... almost nothing in the gauge. :(

Our tanks are almost dry but it will rain and fill them. It's Summer in Australia and a Cat 3 cyclone brewing of the West Australian coast.

PS: I have a storm photo taken this afternoon but I refuse to post it in the face of competition. ;)
 

Fantastic shots Max, as usual.
There were a few excited 'large hail' warnings out for Gympie the other day did you miss those too (I hope)?

Haven't had any weather I'd deem hot yet but I'm a bit biased, I don't raise a sweat 'til it hits 38C or humidity bats 100%, some like it hot.
 
Joycy, Missed out on the hail, ground is so dry its hydrophobic, - the water just runs straight off it and won't soak in. its only rained twice in the last 6 months.
I need to scout out some sites for my lightning shots, - a nice old homestead perched on a hill would do nicely to have in the foreground.
 
There was a creepily fascinating old one near Singleton (think 'Psycho',) would have fit the bill but that's a bit far to commute. A storm behind it would make an arty shot. Probably gone by now though anyway, it was looking wobbly by the time I left. I wanted to get close enough for a good pic angle but never quite got up the courage. The 'new' house near it wasn't looking in much better shape and I couldn't find out who lived there.

I've heard that 'ecologically sound' washing up liquid makes a good replacement for Wet-a-Soil. You'd only need a few drums of it.
