Default FINALLY! Perth has some rain!

Rain, hail, thunder, lightening and strong winds!

Never thought I'd be happy to hear/see it!

I am happy but Im not happy - say half and half, my roof is leaking, my kelpie is terrified and the giant hail stones are dangerously close to the cars.

Ill have to contact the insurance company about the roof tomorrow, I thought it had stopped but its started again.

But all in all, it is much needed rain I guess.

I was going to say 'some light relief at last', but sounds like it's heavy relief

After I said that, it has been bad. Some damage to the outside of the house and the car has a dent from hail! The widows have leaked badly too so I am a bit worried about how the paint work will be tomorrow.

these are the worst storms I have seen in the 5 years I have lived in Perth. It has been horrendous Rachel.

Stay safe, warm and dry everyone.

I dont recall seeing hail as big as today in my 30 odd years in Perth. Some where between golf and tennis ball size. 2 cars dented badly.

My neighbour has had 11 of his work vehicles damaged by the hail.

That was a seriously full on storm, not over yet either.

Great vid. I think we live quite close to each other - it's still going now and apparently will do overnight. My floors are covered in towels!
