    Default So how bout that hail storm

    How intense was that hailstorm? I was at highpoint when it happened and the whole place started to flood, water pouring from the lights, never seen it before.

    What was it like in other area's for everyone else?

    P.s. I didnt see this was posted in the pub so i made one, if its been made delete please

    Got it pretty bad here in Dandenong.
    Before the game of golf was invented , how DID people measure the size of hail ?
    there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't

    I was detailing the car when a drop of rain the size of a hamburger hit the window. From then on it was constant for the next few hours. But i'm sure we got spared from the hail.

    I live in Ferntree Gully, "they" reckon we copped it the hardest. I drove straight into it, golf ball sized hailstone smashed my windscreen, but managed to pull undercover into a 7-11 before the ute panels copped any dints. Windcsreen is covered under my insurance anyway, might be a week or so before i can get it fixed though, i'd say most windscreen places have a VERY busy week ahead of them.

    All up and down our street it looked like someone had run up and down with a baseball bat smashing up cars. It was the most violent hailstorm i have ever witnessed. It was scary when the big tennis ball sized ones started cracking down and hitting the road, it was bloody amazing!! Never seen anything like it.
