For those of you following the weather, there's been no shortage of storms in December!  I've got plenty of photos to upload, and currently doing them now.  So check soon and there'll be some more updates soon!

Thanks to everyone for contributing for raising money for the SES.  Unfortunately, the SES didn't respond to any of my emails about me wanting to donate my proceeds - I did hear from an unofficial sourse within the SES there is some red tape in accepting money from some one who stormchases.  That's sad...and unfortunate that the people who do all the hard work are trapped within the same red tape.

However I was looking at the Starlight Foundation's website and was touched by some of the Christmas wishes their kid had.  One girl wanted a dog...but a dog large enough so she could pat it (she had muscular dystrophy).  So I thought, what better place to donate than seriously or terminally ill children for Christmas.  All up, Downunderchase made just over $300...I decided to donate $200 to the Starlight Foundation.  Thanks again to everyone for their help!

A very well done to our SES.  Some thoughts and praise.

Well it's been a wild week (literally!) in SE QLD.  I've uploaded all of last week's chase reports and photos.  Hope to be adding some radar etc over the next little while.  I also know there's a gap from about 2003-2007 in the chase reports, they haven't been migrated from the old site yet but I'll get onto it as soon as I can!

Click the 2008-2009 season for the current reports.

Interested in a high quality A3 2009 thunderstorm calendar?   Click here to purchase the calendar (through the Redbubble Website) - only $25! I've had this for a while, but I wanted to purchase a sample first (as I'm fussy with the quality of things), but am satisfied it prints nicely!

It's been many years since I've last redone my website.  Unfortunately it just takes too much time the old way, so I'm trying to move everything across to a new system!

Please have some patience - over the next 1-2 weeks I'm going to try and migrate all the content across into the new site (this will be the first priority), then the second priority will be the layout.  You may notice things will appear/disappear - but if it helps, the old site is still active and you can access it here:

 http://www.downunderchase.com/index2.php  (Please note this will also give you access to the Thunderstorm Forecasting Guide)

Please note that any link that refers to "home" won't work though!

There's also HEAPS of NEW reports and photos that have not been uploaded...so hopefully by the end of the month (October), they'll all be uploaded and everything will be up to date.  I'll also endeavour to keep things more up to date also...should be lots of new things!

Also - thanks for everyone's support and encouragement!  It really is appreciated, and is what makes all the work worth it.

Anthony Cornelius - any questions or comments please email me!
