Thread: How's this for hail ?

Did you notice the pieces of plastic being broken off the table?

I wonder how the baot fared too.

That was... INTENSE. It's the only word that is truly apt for it eh !

Imagine being caught out in the bush in that without any shelter

Holy crap

be some cheap cars around there now

You are kidding, I've seen worse than that, I would call that average. Bob

10+ years back I was driving down Sandgate Rd in Brisbane on my way to a car dealer to trade in the vehicle I was driving. I saw the green tinge in the clouds that is usually telltale of hail and thought I'd take a short detour into an undercover carpark at the nearest shopping centre - 4 or 5 minutes later there was golf ball sized hail raining down. The car would have been a write-off if I'd stayed on the road without doubt.

IIRC the insurance payouts were up into the 100 million territory after that particular storm.

Love a good storm. Bring on summer!

During that particular storm , my parents roof was ripped apart, their ceiling fell in , and they had to take cover under the kitchen table, hailstones as big as grapefruit almost killed them. NOW, that was a hailstorm! Bob
