                Tried to rain in the early early hours of this morning, as the edge of that big weather front was moving by. Could hear it on the roof, but it didn't wet anything. Fires still around us as well, so looks like it didn't wet them either.
 Are we going to have a Dry Season thread, or is it still the Wet Season for you on the coast...?? 😄😄

 yeah bunyip i'm not as convinced as you about the invincibility of the Dominator 3 .. I wonder how a heavy object with a 4x2 or star picket or some other pointy thing attached to it will go against that uncovered windsceen and windows...even toughened grass or double windows will still yield to something pointy thrown at 300clicks or more surely.....i also think it should have been built with a lower profile...building on a taller F truck chassis means there is a lot of windage when side on making it more vulnerable to being blown onto its side I'd reckon.. His latest vid shows some pretty extensive damage putting the Dominator out of business for the rest of the season from just hitting a deer at just 100Km/h or less i'd say..wonder how would it go if that same deer hit at over 300 clicks and hit the windscreen first.. same as a cyclone , its not so much the wind that bothers me, its the flying debris that most frightens me... Just for perspective, so to "legally" own a crossbow I had to do a 8 hour safety course last week even though i already have a firearms licence but in other categories .....average bolt speed of a decent crossbow is around 400 km/h...Tornado's can reach 500 km'h.. Anyway some light showers here this morning too 28..though its turned into a cracking day Forecast for mostly sunny all next week with cooler night next weekend...yippee we might actually get some decent dry season weather now.. Over 200 mm for the week Ron so everything is a swamp down this way..i was driving out around some banana farms on friday and it was like rows of little long banana islands in a chocolate sea...water just laying deep everywhere down the rows and headlands..!

                Just the 1mm here for June so far. Ended up good weather to finish off the carport. Hoping for it to continue so they can have a good go at the concrete driveway now.
 I don't know how those storm chase vehicles would go in the middle of an F5. Probably blown away I'd reckon.
 
 June: 1mm

                Been nice to see the sun :)
 
 Scott, yeah I'm not sure about the Dominator either, I think he is mad, but his enthusiasm is catchy.
 I didn't mean to say he was indestructible or not in any danger, just his feeling of being invincible
 and that it is all for the science.
 Love the fact that they can raise the money to build these machines and have a crack at getting into the core.
 Would like to see a twister, but no way in hell would I be driving towards one.
 
 A few drops on the roof last night from that funny white formation on the radar. only just drizzle. and nothing to record.
 
 Cheers
