Saturday (the 20th) was as big as expected, with several supercells and other severe thunderstorms marching across the district. Just south of the border, Kyogle was hit by a big hailstorm which covered the area white with golfball hail, while in the Rosewood/Harrisville areas, a lovely supercell was photographed. 
Click here for those images, on the WZ forums. To the left is a small snippet of this afternoon’s radar, showing the Harrisville supercell. Click on the loop (or here) for a full loop of today’s widespread action. The storms had large amounts of lightning, as evidenced by this image taken from the Energex Lightning Tracker. Also of note was some heavy local rainfalls. The best was a very welcome 46mm at Oreilleys Weir at Wivenhoe and 41mm at Boonah.
