Sep 20 2008 - Dangerous Thunderstorm with HUGE Mesocyclone Willowbank QLD Australia

September 20 2008

LI's of around -8 to -9 and CAPE values near and over the 2000 KJ's mark resulted in some very severe thunderstorms developing around the Darling Downs & Granite Belt regions.. Ipswich area and also the Scenic Rim shire.

It was a hot September day.. with temps over the 30C mark with Dewpoint readings over the 15C mark.

This was filmed from the Willowbank area south of Ipswich in Queensland Australia. Without a doubt though.. this developed into the biggest mesocyclone i have ever seen in Australia!

I have more video of this meso following on from this here in my channel.

The storm went on to produce lots of hail.. flash flooding and localised wind damage.

Wow, what an awesome thunderstorm capture, with the sunlight shining above the tops. Also with what looks to be a wall cloud before the rain shaft. Amazing!
