    Saw this on the news and had a friend call me from mill park saying his car got smashed, so I covered up all of my cars + family cars with blankets and tarp and turns out yet again Berwick missed the hail. Lucky imo. I saw some pictures of pretty extreme flooding in eltham area. I hope it didn't ruin too many chrisy's.

    I had a mate in eltham post pictures of their main street aka river. Then pix of his house/yard... lucky pricks got a white christmas!

    Completely missed us in Cranbourne though. Usually if it rains a bit at my place i end up with a swimming pool in the back yard due to bad drainage but nothing.

    Hope everyone on here got through it alright and with no car damage!

    Yeah the storms got us pretty bad, but whilst you guys were hiding your cars from the hail, mum was trying to write hers off! I'll never understand...

    if its only a couple insurance might pay to get them PDR'd (paintless dent repair). but good luck getting them any time soon lol. they'll be booked for the next 6 months straight. i cant wait to get back to the collision centre, bet theres a dozen hail jobs waiting with parts already ordered....
