OMG we got pasted down here in Berwick!!! The hail started slamming down in blizzard-like conditions at around 5.30pm,total white out, insane wind gusts, left a carpet of white everywhere, on the ground, on the roofs of houses aswell, looks exactly like snow! Lots of lightning and thunder aswell, with quite a few close strikes Damn I've never seen hail come down like this before

128km/h wind gusts at Avalon Airport aswell Jeebus!!!!1

Finally some exciting weather

Never would've guessed it this morning though, with clear skies and calm conditions!

I enjoyed it. At least there was some action not just constant cloud and some drizzle.

The wind is just starting to pick up here as I type. It sounds like a freight train coming over the tops of the trees.

The best wind gust has been 51kph according to the weather station so far.

Cheers

It happens in Sydney too

You don't have an exclusive on hail. The storm that dumped this on us did several million dollars damage just 1.5Km away. I have an HD video of hail bouncing off the path and you can hear it hitting the window I'm shooting through.

The last couple of days, If I'd tried setting up outside my gear would probably be half way to NZ. There were so many leaves in the pool you could almost walk on water.

Before that we had several days of clear blue skies, which within minutes of sunset became total overcast.

Tonight is reasonably clear. Apart from far too much moon and high altitude ice.

Once again, a forecast of sunshine has turned to crap. THat famous insipid Melbourne Cloud is covering teh whole sky, with such ugliness that it makes ones skin crawl and looking at it causes severe nausea bought on by a newly discovered disease called Melbourne Clouditis.

Yeah, that was epic!! My car was out in it, but didn't get done, only thanks to the GF risking herself and putting blankets over it.

Everyone else car on my block got totalled. All smashed out windows, roofs and bonnets caved in.. It came over Thompsons corner and smashed Beecroft.
