MORE Sydney Storms, pics from saturday 19th feb hail storm Sun, 20 February 2005 20:52 Go to next message
Castle hill got hit pretty bad. Hailstones as big, some bigger than golf balls. Hardcore wind and lots of lightning.

Just about any car that was outside got hail damaged.

These pics are just a few we took during and after the brunt of the storm. Should also know that the garage doors are under an orning that goes out about 1.5-2.0m... so that hail blew in there!!

We got caught in that storm on the way to Lithgow (from Canberra via Katoomba).

We had to pull over and some of the hailstones were larger than golf balls (most were smaller though), I thought the windscreen was going to be smashed it was that hard. Luckily though the car seems to have escaped without a single dent, quite amazing really. The car in question was my GF's AE82, tough as nails Laughing

Best hail storm I have ever seen Very Happy
