Sydneysiders - did you get through the hailstorm safely?

[Tit]

I ran across the road to a service station that has now been turned into a mechanics...I asked if I could park under their cover and the young guy there was reluctant, but said ok...when I pulled up he's like "Wow...now wonder you wanted to get it covered - nice car!"

Last year I'd had my dunnydore for 2 weeks and it got pummeled....I wasn't a happy camper....

We had no power when I got home....lots of fallen trees everywhere (nearly all of them gums - are they 'weak' or something?)....saw a couple of cars under trees.....a massive tree fell on some powerlines near my place - hence no power until about 10:30...

Well I guess it had to happen to someone.

Alison was at work when the hail hit, so while it was hailing she had to drive about 500m to the nearest undercover parking, in that time the car took a few hits, but I have not hd the chance to take a look at it yet, so I cannot guage how bad it is.

Our other car, was practically totaled. It has hail damage like the surface of a glf ball.
Best case is that it gets repaired....worse case the car could be written off........

I am not in the sweetest of moods.

***** mate, so sorry to hear that.

[gazah]

bugger josh, our condolences

[-blacky-]

[ScottyB]

Man, that's crap, you guys have the worst luck with your MINI. Hopefully both cars get sorted soon.

[Josh and Ali]

Thanks for the kind words guys......

Ill cool down, just as long as the don't write off the subaru.

The minis damage is quite minor, probably not worth worrying about...but ill have a closer look tonight

This is the same story echoed in every part of the world from India to America. Weather forecasting models are just failing and the variation patterns are so obvious that forecasters all over the world are scratching their heads.

World is experiencing some extreme weathers and weather forecasters in all parts of the world are just failing for reasons unknown to all.

In India, for example, scientists were astonished at the National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting were perplexed by the deviation of the weather from the that predicted by the Doppler reports.

In Russia, authorities are just perplexed with bizarre patters of snow falls.

In America, the weather forecasters are similarly perplexed in their inability to tell people what will happen next day.

The recent hurricanes and typhoons all over the world have taken irregular patterns and unpredictable paths defying all established computer models.

In India, China, Africa, Europe, all over the world the same story is repeating. In every country the meteorologists are thinking that these anomalies are just present in their region. But it is global and increasing every day.

The intensity of the storms and the paths all over the world especially in America’s Florida and South East including Gulf of Mexico are just bizarre.

Bureau of Meteorology, Australian Government is also perplexed with what is going on.

Another interesting phenomenon that is becoming very obvious is that many of the storms all over the world last year went into merry-go-round patterns and pick up speed and force before the landfall.

There is a possibility that massive weather manipulation experimentation is taking place which are totally classified. Military research projects involving weather manipulation is nothing new – many countries are racing towards achieving the capabilities.

What is perplexing is that the same unusual patterns are also present in Artic and Antarctic regions. British Antarctic Survey (BAS), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO, the International Commission on Polar Meteorology and the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP) are involved in modeling the polar weather patterns.

The massive scale of the same problem gives rise to the fact that there may be some bigger hand involved. In South America and Central America native Indians believed that their Gods used to control the weather on a daily basis. We may be looking the same pattern where “Someone” is controlling the worldwide weather.

this is so excellent. I luv a good consiracy theory.

sorry to hear about your woes Josh & Ali. hopefully its nothing that a paintless dent remover can't handle easily. A guy at work here had something like 15 dents removed for a few hunderd bucks.

I've got a small ding on my bonnet put there last week by sumjerk rammedmicar (indian cricketer) its about tennis ball size and its gunna cost $900 to respray the whole bonnet and replace the stripes. guess what my excess is?

Iw asnt worried abot hail last night - I was more worried about washing away intoa deep ditch and never being found! We had the highest rainfall on record ever last night!!

And I had no windscreen wipers!! Must be a lucas throwback!

Not true, we like it that way

Commin in a bit late here. Sorry to hear that news Josh. I was in Gosford too.

My work van also got dented. I'm actually happy cause now I don't have to wash that barge. It's been 2 years and I think the dirt saved it from worse damage. A respray might be just the thing to get it through another 2 years without a wash before its traded. It aint worth the water or time to wash.

Drove home after the hail, when it was still intense. I pulled over a couple of times because I forgot exactly where the road was, and I had no hope of seeing it.

For pictures just use a frosted camera lense and unfocus it. Then spray it with water sideways and youll get what I saw.
