It was fine in the Today's weather report Babs - thanks for setting that up too! When I saw it, I realised we needed a separate thread to catch anything storm related, Grant usually beats us to it so it is setup for the day.

In Tokoroa overnight, some gusts to 55km/hr and about 20mm fell since 11pm. Baro dropped to 993hPa at 3:30am, remained basically steady since then and the winds have eased. No thunder activity noticed over night and no hail.

We finally got quite an impressive thunder storm last nigh (15th). We weren't affected but apparently some people lost power for a bit - no idea how long.
