We had a small amount of hail, but I think you copped most of it before it got this far. Any damage inside or just the windows?

Just the two windows on the kitchen side. Hail and glass 6 metres inside the house. Patio is a mess. Neighbours skylights are smashed. Our one is ok. Rain gauge took a direct hit as well the other plastic items outside.

Have taken pics and having another to calm down.

We just got a light smattering of rain actually, everything passed west of us.

Unlucky!

Good luck with the clean-up, that way it's going we might still cop it later.

Thanks. I spoke too soon! Won't make that mistake again.

Ouch. Think we were lucky up here, not much hail in it. One window leaking like a sieve so I have a small lake inside but thats mainly the angle of the rain. And the gutter is bust but its been like that for ages.

If this is the way the season is going to go on, that could apply to a lot of us. Much more like the storms I remember from my first couple of years here,

Yup, no room for getting slack.

Could be worse, I could be at the Harvest Festival music thing at the Botanic Gardens like a couple of my mates, I hear that has been evacuated ... Serves them right for prioritising it over playing cricket
