On this day 21 years ago, I was to memorise 2 sets of 19 maps of AVN (GFS) and targetted Coffs Harbour. A storm developed on the Dorrigo Plateau mountain embedded in the base. Within 2 hours at Corindi Beach to

experience my first beaver tail. Experience large to giant hail north of there along the highway. Was there a tornado or two in this storm – we will never know but the beaver tail was testament to the balance between inflow and supercell air dynamics. Certainly a big classic supercell.

I travelled down the coast to experience supercells into the night. $200 phone bill that month haha who cares can’t replace memories like this!

Ok 5th November 2000 – Incredible day for me and one of my largest ever phone bill with the old brick and Telstra unaffordable plans! But anyways I loved the chase and this image situation. I know it has been

repeated many a time but who cares when shit has not hit the fan this season yet!
