Yep I got caught right in it, the car is full of dings, lucky it didn't break the windscreen (like it did on a car just in front of me), I tried to park under a tree to reduce the severity. When I got home I found my rain guage, kids swingset, and pipe stormwater that was plastic destroyed. it broke 4 outdoor lights, and cracked a few roof tiles. the steel colourbond roof is full of dints too on the extension on the house, as too the shed up the back. it was bad, but not the worst I have been in. The downdraft that this storm exhibited was amazing, the leading edge was a turbulent mass that seemed to recycle itself very quickly, the temperature dropped more than 12 degrees (car has a thermometer) went from 29 to 17 then back up. have to get those fixed today
