** Forbes Creek Tornado** - 30/01/16

This is my damage assessment along with live interviews, photos and video of the event. I would rate this a Mid EF2 tornado by the damage.

I wish all those who lost their home or had them damaged a speedy recovery however speaking to the locals on the ground this could be a long process with the possibility of some insurance company's not covering the event.

25/01/16 - Storm Factory/Canberra Chase.

What started out as a frustrating day soon turned in to an amazing storm filled afternoon.

A storm near Michelago kept us on our toes with bolts everywhere including getting a little too close for comfort at a mire 600m away and then to ensure we got the message to move along one at just 200m away just as we got in to the car!

This trend continued as we moved to a new location with bolts raining down with in the 200 to 400m bracket.
