Todays weather

Did anyone get the hail??
Man we got belted down our way.
Hail stones the size of 20c pieces and bigger!!!
Never seen anything like that before. Was about 5.15am and it smacked through. Alarms going off on the cars. I dare say my jeep is damaged because of it.
Anyone else get the wild weather?
I got to the city around 6.15am and it barely looks like its rained.

No hail this way
But some very strong winds and lots of rain last night. I saw some video of Cott Groyne on the Weather Channel this morning, it was pretty wild.

I'm in Spearwood (6163) and got woken
up at 3.00am with hail, rain, wind and lightning on the tin roof, At the moment a squall is going through and its blowing like crazy and of course rain. Old fart will have to clean the boat out full of leaves even though its in the car port. Japanese Peppercorn tree is nearly nude all the leaves are everywhere but on the tree. Hope everybody survived the last couple of days without damage, so far so good, fingers crossed for you all.
Went done yesterday (sunday) to Woodie Point and watched the surf kites having a ball, got some nice photos as well and yes the dire heart fisho's were there but didn't see if they were catching anything, can't go fishing so it killed a couple of hours watching surf kiters enjoying the very windy conditions.

Y fronts don't hack it
landed at the Perth domestic yesterday at 3.30 pm - for sale cheap - a pair of jocks size 95-100 and if you are flying Qantas - avoid seat 16A.

Yes my thoughts were with anybody7739ian
that was flying in the last couple of days would have been hairy landing or taking off at the airport. Watched some footage on youtube with the old Hong Kong Airport, talk about scary landings, it'd be white knuckle on the arm rest for me.
