Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

Size of hail seems to depend on where you are. In the YK Gail is not that infrequent but is considered to be large if the size of a marble.

In the sixties had a hail storm in Brisbane where it came through the fibro roof and the ceiling to reach the kitchen table. For many years houses had odd coloured roofing as the panels that were replaced had not weathered

A pic of a hail storm in the UK was a wow.

Earliest severe (≥H3) hailstorm

The earliest known severe hailstorm in Britain occurred at Wellesbourne in Warwickshire in May 1141 and was at least H3 in intensity on the TORRO Hail Scale. However, there are believed to have been one or more fatalities caused by hail - which would infer very large stones and hence a much higher intensity rating.



What is interesting here is the changes in the hail events. I did see two people try and run to their cars in the event which killed my Disco. They were bleeding badly from hail stone hitting their heads and hands as they returned to cover. Hands held over their head as they got wack or ten!
Not dead happily!

I got hammered by a heavy hailstorm near Goombungie a few years on my motorcycle. I was wearing Bellstaffs and full face. My head was being jolted around and when I got home I was covered in angry red welts , some becoming bruises. Btw if you know the road to Oakey there is not much cover to find.

I wonder if the Army Aviation Centre had all their a/c under cover at that time?


Still, a few patches of tissue paper & Clag would have fixed that problem had they not done so?

yeah, I was working out there at that time.

regular as clockwork the storms came through and it was all hands to hangar everything.

no one minded, the hangar doors had to be closed where the Pilatus Porters were as they could fly if the wind got over about 40 kts. no tie downs inside the hangar

Thanks rb.

Ed. One doesn't sort of normally think there would be a need for tie down anchors inside.

CURTAINS,YOU HAVE CURTAINS TO FADE??? OMFG!



We just use S/H cement bags & cannot afford proper posh curtains JEEEEEEEEEZ! A bit dusty at times but they don't fade.

Probably accounts for why I wake up each morning with a dry throat.



BTW, they are buggers of things to wash IMHO.
