[crazytaxi38]

Did your car get curbs everywhere?

[vinnie181]

Sure looks nasty

[fxstwg1955]

I can remember the summer rains during the early 60s when I lived there.There were no hailstones as I can remember ,but it was fun running through the streets filled with water.The rain would suddenly come and would stop just as quick.Flash flooding.

@fxstwg1955 these were the largest hailstones I have ever seen in the 40 years I have lived here, we would have flash flooding esp in McLennan avenue when I was a kid, but yesterday there was just no time for anything so I had my phone out and videoed what I could

it was scary

[missjaja01]

I was walking along broadbent terrace and walked right into it and had to dive into someones car to escape it.

[mumandtwins]

@missjaja01 OUCH hope you didn't get hurt, those suckers would have caused some bruising

5 min later & your front yard is a flooded muddy mess! I've only ever seen hail like that once. Unbelievable! There are going to be some very unhappy car yards surveying the damage today. How bad is your car, any pics?

[mumandtwins]

@jojozep73 I am just uploading another video and then I will head out and take some pics of the car, a lot of dents, thankfully windscreen is ok, broken right mirror, and I just heard another storm is on the way at least I got car under cover this time

[patellaman]

I always seem to miss the good storms!

[mumandtwins]

@patellaman sure was a ripper

[patellaman]

@mumandtwins sure sounds like it, my dad said his windscreen was all smashed in and bonnet dented up, hope your car is okay! :)

[mumandtwins]

@patellaman Westland Carpark was well under water, Onestop foodland roof caved in closed today, Westland Roof collapsed ( nothing unusual there as it has always not held water cos it is flat) trees down, streets a mess video uploading now of Westlands last night

[lethalCT4E]

they are huge mothers of hail stones - hope the damage to your car isn't too expensive and that your insurance will cover it for you.

[mumandtwins]

@lethalCT4E sure are huge this was the full unedited video of the worst of the storm, I got warning via facebook that the storm had hit Kimba about an hour before I had to clear a spot for the car under the carport. I will survey the damage now the sun is coming up.

glad I have insurance a quick drive around last night Westland shopping centre carpark was flooded what a mess the town is in now
