Hail Storm Hits Melbourne, Australia, March 6, 2010

This is some footage of the severe hailstorm which struck Melbourne, Australia this afternoon. Pretty scary! Very noisy, and I thought that any moment the kitchen window would be smashed. Some of the hailstones were 3 cm across. Luckily my car was under cover. Any cars that weren't suffered bad body panel damage and cracked windscreens. I'm in one of the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and it could have been even worse elsewhere.

I am Knox so I know what it was like. Everyone seems to think it was "fun" well it was scary, loud and it went for 8min, my video shows maybe the second minute of the storm, I had to stop videoing at that point due to the hail getting bigger and worse. I had 4 x broken windows, my car is covered in poc holes, and my lazer light looks like cottage cheese.

I hope you are free from damage, its something I never want to experience again.

@jojoauz I'm sorry to hear about all the damage you suffered. I'm in Mulgrave so it appears we were on the edge of the worst of it. Luckily my car was under cover. My neighbours whose cars weren't under cover sustained mild denting to their cars. My daughter wasn't so lucky. Her car was parked at Stud Park Shopping Centre and her car's a real mess. I agree with you. It's certainly something I never want to experience again either.

Oy vay, as my grandmother used to say! That's not a pretty sight.

My grandmother would have said, 'Yoo, yoo, yoo, yoo, yoo!' Dutch dialect from Zeeland (province). The next couple of suburbs along from where I live received hailstones the size of tennis balls. Windows smashed, roofs destroyed, cars damaged. It's been estimated that the total insurance bill will be around A$200 million!

Ferdy, scary stuff! I hope you kept the ice for next summer?

What impresses me the most is that you scored an advert on your video for high viewing. Hope your music will next :)

[singularity64]

Thanks Tim! I don't think my music has quite the same impact lol

Cheers
