I was in it. I was one of the lucky ones that still had their power. I was on the BOM website and black was all over Perth. The hail was the size of golf balls and smashed so many peoples windows. Because Perth hardly gets Cyclones and if we do its always a category 1 cyclone. I was freaking out. Because drains in Perth are so weak the flooded and practically the whole city was under water. Well when I say under water I mean up to knee hight. But it was still very scary.

[KidStarInterviews]

I remember this day, something I will never forget. For people of Perth is was big and scary because we do not get this often but for people that experienced hurricanes, it would of been nothing. We were out of power and had a mini flooded backyard we got from school and had to get my dog inside and clean him him and calm him. We also had to get all our backyard objects under some cover but all can be cleaning and fixed.

Lol to the drain shark at the end.

[lilrepvssnowman1]

kids, look before crossing



[RadicRampage]

thats so amazin an cool i luv it

[Aspekitteh]

Can the Soil in Perth handle much water? Or do they all tend to run-off?

[cazzle80]

that was nuts, thankfully i didnt have work that day :-)

[me4ever47]

your video was in the news

[GabbyClixby]

my car still has dents all over it haha

as soon as the golf ball sized hail started, it just happened to be when i was stepping off my school bus onto an oval with no shelter

[brandonscherrer]

I still see cars today in Perth with dents on there hood from this day.

[gofreo]

what intersection was this at??

[xXCandy333Xx]

One of the reasons it was so bad is that Wa wasnt built to cope with storms. We barely get rain so there is no need. Then this happned and the drains were like' oH fuck' and overfilled. The hail was a bitch though....that'd piss anyone off.

I saw the lightning, didnt get the hail but Ive seen some hell damaged cars from it. I hope we have another storm like that without the hail. =P

[munza]

@xXCandy333Xx Well we are coming into another storm season. Cyclones will be pushed further down this year also. They might not reach us but they could bring some big storms and maybe even worse then this one!

[dyl2210]

@xXCandy333Xx theres a cyclone hitting perth this weekend mate hopefully i can get some footage on my iphone i will :) Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca apparently :) yay

[hullohulloRFC]

[yungalbo1]

[TapTapTido]

the jazz made it through. :)

[Panaru2010]

Perth is a shithouse city. Still stuck in the 50's and 100yrs behind Europe not to say that all Australia is.

[bobjoshilly]

@Panaru2010 obviously your an idiot... europe is how old again? perth is 150 years old... perth is awesome, shame about idiots like you that think they know perth

[Jordon590]

@Panaru2010 And what wonderful city are you from? Whatever it is, I doubt it's as good as Perth!

[Panaru2010]

@Jordon590 I'm from Perth.....

[666Excorsist]

Heard this morning that only just today the damage bill for this storm hit 1 billion.

This storm flooded my school, as it is just a small amount of rain floods my school, but this flooded it bad. Fortunately we weren't badly affected by the hail where I live, did knock out the power for 3 days though :).

[Juwibrat]

I live near therer but I go to school in the northern suburbs............walking across that street was NOT fun

[Camster3]

one of the buses my friend was on flooded since the doors arent sealed at the bottom

[Camster3]

my friend was on a bus and te bottom of the bus got flooded so they had to move about 50 scholl kids to the back of the bus

[BraniusBalki]

You can see a storm water shark at the 1:17 mark.

[69gismo69]

@BraniusBalki  haha i seen that lol

[TheSmacca]

@BraniusBalki Haha, more like a mini-Loch Ness. Or was that the son of Bertie? Eeeek.

[timetakillya]

i was in port kennedy and it didnt rain that much there

[MourneOne]

the fun thing is the kids probably got school free =3

[111hamish111]

i was on my bike in canning vale just as it hit gunned it home then it stopped

[vividwakenings]

lmao @ tash

[TashAustraliaRep]

Where's ShamWow when you need it... haha

[TravvyG]

What's that sound in the back ground... Sortta sounds like a alarm... What happen to the drainage in Perth

[munza]

The building up the roads fire alarm has gone off as a result from the rain. Perth's drains are really poor and can not handle this type of rainfall. If we had another 30 mins of this type of rain it could have been so much worse.

[slayer00083]

drainage couldnt keep up. it was like this after 15-20mins of rain, after all the hail melted.

[iammt00]

maybe one day it will come to tas

[rachelnjake4ever]

All the lights were down, you can tell at 0.29 when the busw nearly hits that car thats turning

[royrubber]

Good pics mate, I was down at Police HQ and the water was even higher than this on Hay Street.

[tomhanks87]

Why does the lady in white trot through the water? Will it make her less wet?

[kimzor1989]

@tomhanks87 it would of made her more wet because of splash backs

[katums141]

BEST DAY EVERRRRRRRRR

[rolandthelinuxer3]

@katums141 Yes it was. Pity I didn't have a decent camera on me at the time...

[STAUNCHIN]
