Awesome structure!

Targetted the region near Port Macquarie to Kempsey and this is the region that took off thankfully. Storm structure was better than I expected given the mixing out that was anticipated. The green tinge was a nice addition and we got hail to 4.5cm in diameter measured about 10 minutes later melting considerably due to rain. There were a few balls that were of the order of 5cm but can’t speculate size without evidence! IMG_0009
