A Saturday chase to Mittagong area. The atmosphere was very unstable today with multiple cells
forming along the ranges. Approaching the Colovale-Hilltop exit I could already see strong CG's
striking and I knew I wasnt going to get as far as Mittagong. Intercepting the storm at Colovale area
just north of Mittagong, I took that exit and found a clear viewing area. Initially I was standing outside
the car videoing the CG's till a couple of very intense and quite close ones had me scrambling for
the safty of the car. I stayed in this area for ~ 20 mins before moving north up the main road to a safe
stopping area out of the rain and did some more captures. When the rain got heavy there, I again
moved north to the Picton exit for more pics, before finally heading home. An excellent Chase !!
