Only an idiot would RELY on BOM radar to go anywhere near TS or CB's. It is, however, a useful unapproved information source to assist making an EARLY inflight decision to return home, or divert to somewhere safe, when the actual weather conditions differ markedly to the APPROVED forecast. I love my stormscope for the same reasons.
