Within 5 minutes we had some strong wind...then some rain...then small bits of hail (where you go "is that hail ?..might just be heavy rain drops") then we got bigger hail and to round it off we got a 2 minute spell of hail up to and including the size of mandarins (the oranges, not the chinese chappies)...
We had a tree come down in our street and take down a powerline - we got power at 4am this morning. I've been on the phone to the insurer already today about getting my car fixed (windows intact but bonnet and roof a bit dinged)...
Within 15 minutes we had calm weather and sunshine...what is WITH this weather !!!???
...and worst of all....we still have clouds 
PS - we were in Castle Hill, NSW

Several people at my office live out your way and were telling very scary tales today at work about the storm...lots of damage!
Glad you made it through okay!
