Well it turned out a real treat for us. Picked my wife up and decided to head to Aspley. On Beams Road just at the railway crossing we were held there as the boom gates lowered. There was a very heavy downpour making it difficult to see from there to Aspley. Although the gauges only registered 2 mm’s I believe where we were it would have been a little more. We were smack in the middle of the core.

The night crawlers were amazing, the CG’s and CC’s were absolutely brilliant, then the sky light up near Carseldine, it threw every piece of lightning you could imagine all at once ending with a single CG that flew across the sky horizontally then shot down to the ground. It was first time I have ever seen that happen. I would say due to the dust and static in the atmosphere it caused an amazing piece of lightning. It was like a javelin thrown and then sharply landing. I wish I had dash cam, which is on the list, or a go pro to capture it. Amazing.
