Severe Pulse Storm And Hail 11/1/09

Severe pulse storm that formed over Lightning Ridge. This storm cell had amazing sunset lit structure and a monster updraft. A large hail core collapsed out of the updraft area soon after we arrived. The lightning was frequent and staccato, which is always nice :D

We raced to a good photographing point SE of town (as the storms usually head away out to the East) set up and began capturing what was an astounding display of nature at it's stormy best.

WHOA! A monster CG fires from the rear of the storm cell! Remember these are taken at 10mm so you have a full 180degree view here!

Activity from the smaller impacting storm. This would remain independent of the main storm cell all night and stay highly active also!

The hail core spreads across the ground furiously (bottom left) I was watching it carefully for ages and it was moving at a very rapid rate!
