A trough edging very close to the coast produced some incredible storms today. Very powerful updrafts were the order of the day, and an amazing supercell developed in the region near Lismore. I headed out to Tregeagle and watched it build. The power of the updrafts was really something to behold. There must have been huge amounts of energy being tapped into to produce updrafts like these!

I proceeded north towards McLeans Ridges as the storm got closer. The constant roar of hail in the updraft, the almost total lack of rain revealing the entire updraft – it was just awesome! Hail up to around 6cm fell in my location, leaving a few fresh dents on my car.
