I followed this up & it did touch down taking out 2 houses & something else out in its path..... No one was hurt thank goodness.
It must have been a fair old size cos it takes a minimum F2 possible F3 to level a house. Anything smaller will course damage but in most cases the house is left standing.
It was one worth posting for sure.....
My sister & I are both addicted to storm watching & we phone each other when ever we see a good one just to share it with one another.
She sent me this pic this morning & I was quite impressed.
All the good stuff seemed to have missed us this time but we have brilliant summer storms so I hope to be able to capture some of it & post it up here.
Fingers crossed.
Melbourne storm from News . com . au
Our place got smashed last night with the Melbourne storms. I video'd it to show the forum but It's pretty dark and it doesn't look that "extreme" on the video...lol
You'll find me in the hall way, back against the wall and feet against the other in a real bad storm. Missus is the one walking around checking things.

Are they time lapsed Paul?
We (My other half and I) saw a tail forming in a cloud bank late last year on the way home. In Buccan (on the big sweeping bend by the old falling down house) and turned down a road to waytch it, only to see it decipitate as quick as it formed. No one believed us!
