einseins Posted October 10, 2011 I got it where I am (you know Turkey). Luckily all safe in a greenhouse. Yeah that was pretty strong, about marble size hail. The misses was worried about her car, given the last big hail storm. But all is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant be the only one??? That has to suck BT . You just have to hope for a week of sunshine so they dont rot. I think there are storms forcast for this arvo. Can you get them in under shelter? I was in Byford on Sat night / Sunday morning there was no hail out there. I had a wander around the garden and potted up some catci yesterday arvo and didnt notice any thing ( Perth Hills ) Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cisumevil Posted October 10, 2011 "Jandakot was the wettest part of the metropolitan area in the last 72 hours with 24.6mm. Yesterday, residents in some of Perth's southern suburbs were hit with up to thirty minutes of hail during a localised storm yesterday morning. Parkwood resident Sean Martin captured a close-up photograph of hail which hit his backyard and said his front and back yards were covered in hail. "It was just so bizarre, I have not seen hail like that in Perth before," Mr Martin said. "I know that we had that big storm last year…but we didn't get any of that in the southern suburbs. You see hail from time to time but it's a couple of minutes and it's tiny. This was thirty minutes of constant hail."" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
