It was nice to hear the storm slowly moving over early Sunday morning. Had a restless night so you could hear it coming. As you posted Aussie Girl, the radar really showed a beautiful classic bow echo as per the image above.

When you watch it approach in the early hours of Sunday morning , you can observe the bow echo form and the rotation within the massive cell.
