Oh well done matey! I got stuck in the friggin westgate bridge and freeway traffic, I was heading for Richmond with the GPS so I arrived in say Power Street approx 20 mins after the hail stopped. I could see the hail built up on the sides of the road and still plenty of Flooding around too! Not only was the hail heavy but the diameter of the stones was large too. Im just looking at some of the building damage you captured too looks like a tornedo's work. Awsome Job. Fantastic!

This is crazy! We're used to this crap in the States during tornado season, but I don't hear a single siren in the background to warn people of the severity of this storm.

[zipperboy2]

@Formigaman As this is a very rare event authorities have not even considered it.

I Live in melbourne and i couldent believe what i was seeing we never get this weather our dams were as low as 30% 2 years ago and of course we got hit by them really bad bushfires that killed close to 200 people only 2 years ago i was kind of happy we were getting rain but it was really intense and i hop we dont get that much rain in 1 hit again
