Hail!

A couple of months ago, we had a freakish storm with the largest hail stones I have seen. Our suburb was one of the worst hit. Unfortunately our car was caught without cover and all I could do was look on as it got pummeled by golf ball-sized hailstones.

Wow. The bigger hailstones were about 3 cm across.

Poor car.

We were lucky that none of the windows were broken but nearly all the car panels were damaged. So many cars were damaged that day (last I heard, there were upwards of 60,000 cars damaged), that our car is booked for repairs in September!

Oh, and our sky light was also broken. We were lucky that nothing else was damaged. I know one person that had their house destroyed when the hailstones broke the roof tiles. Their house will have to be completely rebuilt.

By the way, Christian took this shot :)
