A storm is coming






I have been near places where they have had tornaro warnings, etc, but have never actually been through one myself. There have been super bad storms where it seemed like a tornado, but never was one. Well, now there is one predicted for around where I live. That is a photo I took a few minutes ago. And a notice from our Bureau of Meteorology. :-(

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING for DESTRUCTIVE WIND, LARGE HAILSTONES and TORNADOES for people in the Upper Derwent Valley and parts of the South East and Midlands Forecast Districts. THIS INCLUDES A TORNADO WARNING.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce destructive winds, large hailstones and tornadoes in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include New Norfolk, Oatlands and Richmond.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:

* Move your car under cover.
* Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees.
* Avoid using the telephone during a thunderstorm.
* Beware of fallen trees and powerlines.
* For emergency assistance contact the SES on 132500.

The next warning is due to be issued by 1:35 pm.
