Thread: Show us your weather shots!

    Show us your weather shots!

    Hey guys,
    Would be interested in seeing some of the freaky stuff mother nature can throw at us out on the water. I love watching lightning burst across the sky, as well as big cloud fronts and those water spiral thingies (I'm sure someone will give the correct name for it). So how about it, your best shots of wild weather out on the water!

    I'll start us off with this big storm coming in over the bay last year. My sister got this photo from the Micat as she was heading home from Moreton.

    The one of the tower............"clearing storm at dusk" isn't

    From the sun's position I would say that was shortly after mid-day (west coast).............another reason why I left.............not a soul to be seen..............bloody pommy wusses

    Jeeeeeeeeez! I must be old..............it's a bugger when you can't remember what time of day that you took a shot

    Here's a waterspout off Ballina that chased us around a bit, then just fizzed right in front of us.

    At the time, the wave on the right of the funnel looked to be about 15ft high.

    Wags- very familiar sight that one. Was playing volleyball at tanga one year, facing south and watching this big storm just rolling up the island. Minute we felt a raindrop we bolted for cover about 10m away and still got soaked. When they start, they start damn quickly.

    Murad- great shot mate, definitely the calm before the storm. Did you make it home dry that day?

    Muzz- waterspout! That's what I was talking about in the first post. Good photo, would love to see one of them myself

    A sad note to the shot of the tower.

    I heard on the news yesterday that a helicopter had gone down killing all 7 on board heading for a gas rig 20 miles offshore.

    If you look along the sea wall to the foot of the tower where the last wave is breaking on the wall, that is the ramp where the lifeboat used to launch, and yes, they do head out in those kind of seas. Nearby Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood lifeboats also encounter similar conditions

    It has brought home to me just how brave those volunteers are and how lucky I am to be living here. Those kind of seas are present for at least a quarter of the winter months and even sometimes in summer.
