G'day TassieKiwi,
Thanks for the heads up. Have to wtach the news tonight and see where the damage was/hit. Living in Brisbane I used to worry about hailstorms, down here you don't even raise an eyelid to one.
Once when I was working in West End I got caught in the middle of a massive hailstorm, like evrybody else on the streets we were racing madly in our cars trying to find cover. I ened up under a Moreton Bay fig beside the river at Pauls Milk.

Hmm, the radar map does look a bit ominous - http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR503.shtml - but the storms are still and hour or two away from here and may have blown themselves out by the time they get here. Fingers crossed.

I used to work at a factory out in Western Sydney. One day while I was at work a hail storm hit and my car, which was in the carpark, was peppered with small dents from the hail. This wasn't during the big hail storm that devastated Sydney's Eastern Suburbs in 1999, it was a few years after that. My car, an old Commodore, had really needed a respray and so this ended up being done as an insurance job. I still had to pay the excess but it wasn't much and it was cheaper than paying for a full respray myself. I traded the car within about a year of having it resprayed.
Although I thought it was a real bugger when the damage first occurred, it actually worked out not to bad.Regards,
Ian.

Got a lot of rain, short sharp and sweet, but no hail in the south-western corner of Toowoomba. The radar showed we were at the very top of the storm cell. I bet other areas weren't so lucky re the hail... However, if we are lucky, it will have rained over a dam catchment area

Phew, lucky escape; torrential rain but no hail, and, even more surprising, the power is still on, since there was very little thunder.
I shall have to bag up our mango crop. The year before last we lost the lot to hail; and last year the trees didn't produce any.

If it's any consolation we have 80kmh winds and freezing SW winds here. no hail. Good luck to those in the path - looks like it has eased in the radar.

Well according to the radar my place was right amongst the red stuff - wonder what awaits me at home .
Currently the yard is a maze of trenches and a concrete pool shell - probably looks like a cross between Venice and New Orleans - aaahhh we'll be right - fingers crossedCheers

All gone now and no damage. Just drizzly rain. Good for the garden. I've got fruit trees jumping out of the ground after a very generous application of compost about a month ago and this rain will do them a power of good.
