Yep it was a real beauty, came out of left side. the dogs went nuts, absolute driving rain, filled up three white plastic containers, expecting more this afternoon. Unfortunately someone was killed, a tree fell on his car.
We are at Bribie is. and put up the annex for the first time and gues what? We had a single bed in the annex and the annex leaked a bit and that bit was over the bed. the annex is also on a slab longer than the annex and we found out that makes the water come in under the sides.also learnt you can't have electrical items in the annex. It's funny now but not then we are on a huge learning curve.. the rocket and strop
All good here Gubby. No hail, but plenty of heavy rain.
Daughter got caught up in the traffic chaos, then drove through the hail damaged area. Lucky she wasn't trying to drive through there WHILE it was coming down! She posted a video on fb but I can't get it to upload onto here.
We just had a beauty of a storm up here, rain, hail and wind... was building up for it all day very warm, needed the rain though as I have only tank water and was getting pretty low so the rain was good..
Well, it changed again and we did get a little bit of hail. Honi, Lesley was talking to her daughter in Atherton, so we heard about your storm. You've had some extremely hot days up there, just awful, I'm sure.
SA was also on storm warning yesterday afternoon. It passed across the state north of Pt. Wakefield dumping hail on Whyalla, Pt. Augusta and Pt. Pirie. It missed Adelaide fortunately. Nothing much has been reported about that in national news, but we've seen vision of Qld's hail damage and aftermath down here. I don't know what damage it did to the crops up n the mid-north. They were looking pretty good last week, but still very green, so damage may be minimal. Some farmers have already mowed and windrowed in preparation for harvest to avoid storm damage such as this. They're very preceptive these farmers. I hope everyone is ok after these huge storms.

Nature can be so vicious is so many ways. Bushfires, cyclones, floods, thunder storms, dust storms, blasting gales. It's been windy here in Adelaide today, but no rain yet. Could be some coming. It's cold tonight. Tuck in and stay safe wherever you are.

We are in for another strange summer with lots of variations. Next week here we are getting 3 or 4 days of between 28 - 30 degrees then going back to a wet miserable weekend straight after. Just don't know what to expect next.
