I had to read this again. The first time I saw 14 cm.Apparently the Aurora Australis was just as spectacular last night.
Unfortunately it was all in Southern Tasmania as I was overcast receiving 14mm of rain.
No rain predicted here, but it is supposed to be overcast. Never seems to fail, anytime there's a celestial event (northern lights, meteor shower, etc.) it's cloudy. We did luck out with an absolutely beautiful day for the eclipse.It's also supposed to rain.
