They seem to have it working again now weary...which is just as well with some rather violent stormage happening to our west..including hail on the tablelands. Some amazing pics from inside the eye of Melissa from Hurricane hunters...Damned if I would be wanting to fly through the eyewalls of that sucker... https://www.facebook.com...set=pcb.1141817744738747Edited by user Tuesday, 28 October 2025 2:12:44 PM(UTC)

Great photos Scott, they're definitely brave people on those planes Apparently on the last flight through the hurricane, one of their pressure readings was just under 900hpa. Incredible stuff.

Just 1.5mm out of that stormy arvo yesterday Scott. Only light rain here with plenty of distant rumbles to the W and NW. There's a chance of a severe storm on the forecast today so we'll see what happens there.
Oct: 100.5mm
YTD: 2741mm

Thanks for the link Scott. I checked out his FB page https://www.facebook.com...mchasing?mibextid=ZbWKwLAnd came up with this video https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17atCU8JGX/That would really be something to be inside that. As for storms yesterday I noticed it was a bit dark to the south when I went around to Freshwater around 3pm. While there heard an occasional faint rumble, and later on some light rain. Never gave it a second thought til I stumbled across a post from Atherton Weather - and thought it was an old video...

1540hrs: Nice storms forming to the SW at the moment. Distant thunder. We could get a shower later. I see on "The Bureau" weather radar rainrate scale, the maximum rate colour is 400+mm/hr, I'd like to see that. Nice video 28, it looks like the eye of Melissa is so small that the plane hasn't enough room to turn.

At least some sites are staying the same. Here's the Tropical Tidbits GFS rainfall forecast for the next 10 days or so, not looking to good at the moment.
