We had a cracker of a Hailstorm here back in 1989. the hailstones were the size cricket balls and damaged every car in the open, smashed the majority of buidings rooves, totally destroyed the Glass Conservatorium and basically caused mayhem! It sounded like a locomotive coming staight at you!!!
The printer at Sovereign Hill came up with an instant money spinner which he quickly printed and went on sale the next day: Stickers with 'I HAIL from Ballarat' written on them.
The Storm was very scarey stuff.
