I caused a booboo on one of the servers at work and so had to stick around to fix it.
Normally, I would have made the 4:22 PM train to the Sunshine Coast. But, as a result of my technical misadventure, I got stuck at work. From my office window, one minute it was blue skies, the next it became evil and menacing (my window faces east). The next thing I see, tennis ball-sized projectiles falling at a 45 degree angle from the south. It was absolutely incredible; I've never seen anything like it! The sound, also, was insanity!
For the second time in 8 days, the train system shut down and the city ground to a halt. My poor wife had to make another 90 km trip into the city to pick me up as I had no other way to get home. Bless her heart.
The footpaths were covered in red and green from the foliage having been decimated from the hail. It looked spectacular.
The attached photo, taken by Sharni Blake (courtesy of Higgins Storm Chasing) says it all.
