Footloose

The 10 minute storm is over. Steam coming off my driveway. The hail has melted, and the sun's hot again. Everythings starting to dry out. I can still hear thunder somewhere.
As a mate of mine from NSW said, "I love qld rain. If you stand out in it long enough it dries off "

I copped the full brunt but no damage . The troopy is under my carport which has no sides . I was standing inside the house watching the hail smash into the side of the troopy . Luckily no bigger than half the size of a golf ball . Only a few dints to go with the other dints from a previous hail storm .

A few years ago I got caught in a decent hail storm while shopping. I was inside , it was parked. Smashed the windscreen , dented most panels. 8K worth of damage. I was lucky, I rang the insurance co straight away.

It's been snowing down to 400m here in Vic - and only 2 weeks out from Summer. Amazing.

Ross, too right !
You'll know if you come across a REAL footy. He's the old guy with the huge aerial on the back that does the speed limit or lower. He's the one that you always have to pass a dozen times on a trip, because you stop to play tourist while he just keeps doddling past :))
One trip I had really bad suspension. I travelled from Alice Springs to the Coast at 80Km/h. Any faster was unsafe. The only thing I passed was a grader...and that was an effort !

As previously posted, Bundy is better with water than ice: we scored zilch re rain. Guest's car is almost in the "dog's brekky".( She went through hail on the way up). Managed to create enough shed room to shove it in.
All good, eh Mike. love, JH.
ps. Footyl !Hope this doesn't cross your screen: shots were aimed elsewhere. JH.

Well at The Gap (Brisbane) we coped it ...... I have spent weeks getting all the veggies in top shape getting ready to pick (now i sort of know how the farmer feels when his crop gets hammered) :( :( ..... then one of the drains backs up and water was heading inside..... so out in the HAIL, ......... damn don't they hurt, just as well I had my helmet on cleared drain phewwwwwwwww. Biggest size was about 2 inches most were around 1 inch.

At least i got the car turned around so only the tray got hit :)
