This afternoon we had the most amazing hail storm I’ve ever seen. Great balls of ice, some as big as baseballs, rained down from the sky. My neighbour’s windows were smashed, our house is leaking like a sieve. All towels and buckets are in use.

Here are 3 beauties my son picked up from the garden. And these have already melted as you can see.

Our pool was jumping as if it was alive. The giant hailstones created mini explosions in the water.

I don’t know why the weather bureau can’t predict a sudden storm like this one so people can be prepared.
