I should also mention that the thunderstorm complex responsible for all this lightning, there was some severe weather with it. The storms did produce some strong outflow gusts, 96 kilometers an hour at Ironbridge mine. That's in Pilbara and they had 87 kilometer an hour winds at Ulara which is near Uluru. And in the eastern half of Australia, they had supercells between November 10th and the 14th. Again, this is all part of an extended upper level trough and they had high instability under there. So they had a multi-severe weather outbreak across the southeast Queensland area. So Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, to Wombal, those areas. Also northeast, New South Wales, that's the north rivers area. They saw severe weather as well. And widespread reports of giant hail, flash flooding, destructive winds, etc.
