hail tonight

twilightprotege · 19-05-2005, 09:39 PM

did any one get a lot?

got heaps here at chermside.

they were about the size of small marbles and they came down for about 10 minutes! outside looked like snow! in places the hail was a good 10cm thick!

luckily nextdoor is vacant at the moment and i have the keys so i was able to move my mum's car in their garage. however i dont think the hail would have caused any damage.

anyway, here's pics :

out my front door

driveway

driveway again

holy crap thats pretty intense. we dont get much hail in newcastle and i certainly dont think it comes that thick.

oh man, i was stuck in traffic while this storm was happening, was freakin out that i might cop some hail...but the eastside diddnt seem to get any...there was a lightning strike right next to us tho! toowong and the western suburbs seemed to get the hail pretty bad if u saw the news like a foot deep!

twilightprotege · 19-05-2005, 10:07 PM

yeah saw the abc news and a guy walking in a foot of hail! that's nasty. atleast it wasnt golf ball size and above!

The Astina was safely locked away in the garage.....but the Liberty got some light hail

but no damage....

I was on my way to see Big Gav when the storm hit and had to take up shop in a servo and spend 45mins huddled in a bus shelter until it was all finished

**** that just looks pretty crazy, have never seen anything like that recently down my way,I hope no one on heres car got damaged, cause i remember a while back down at the centeral coast they had a badish one that pretty much destroyed the whole car lot of cars at mazda, the guy from there was on tv saying "we will sell these cars at very discounted prices".

i want hail to hit my car ... insurance will hopefully right it off ... i will buy itback for $800, take two weeks off work then spend $2000 fixing it ... hey look the insurance just payed for my turbo!

if they dont ... respray!

win win situation

I like your theory nate

the hail wasnt big enough to cause car damage, however there were quite a few accidents around because australians dont know how to drive on ice!!!
