My bride to be's late model beetle got pummeled, bonnet and roof covered in dents and the windscreen cracked in about 4 or 5 places, she was parked facing into it. Shame, she's had it from new and it was in pretty good nick.

Lucky all my other loved ones (cars) were at home under shelter, was hoping yesterday that no Starions were caught in the hail.

No hail in Morley, just lots of rain.
The more people I talk to, the more horror stories I hear!

Russell Coight: Some of the animals are nocturnal, so the best time to see them is at night. Only you can't see them, because it's dark.

looks pretty nasty, we had some storms like that in Melbourne this year, caved the roof in on one of our central train stations as well. gotta love them 100 year storms when they destroy everything in there path. :(
