Let me quickly write a synopsis of the comment I just wrote about your storm video. It was a very long one! This was an extremely dangerous storm that could have dropped a tornado on you at any time. I learned to 'read the weather' from my mother who grew up working at her family's farm in the fields all of her life. I don't know if you have tornadoes in Australia, but I've lived my whole life with them and hurricanes in southeast Alabama. This is a quick list that I observed: There was more daylight at the beginning, with rotating clouds above you. Then the winds were volatile (downdrafts from the top of the storm), so that you could hear the winds over any thunder. The lightning became constant and revealed significant size hail stones being produced. You can see this clearly by the pinkish-green hues during the lightning bolts (1:14 and 1:45). By frame 2:45 you can hear the birds sounding the alarm and for others to fly away from it. Lastly, it was so dark that you couldn't see anything, regardless of the power being on or not. While it was dangerous, I place my value in your life and heart; not on material goods that can be replaced. Thank you for sharing this storm! I don't know if you got rain or hail from it, but it was nasty. Blessings to you my friend and birthday buddy from Alabama ❤️
