Friday's Fun

[Terminal]

I'm sure everyone knows friday had some pretty shithouse weather in the afternoon. i know it did because i drove to Newcastle in it, not letting up the whole trip.

here's some pictures i took before the shit hit the fan in belconnen. thought i'd share as they're pretty cool

I hope no one or their cars got damaged in it, we had massive hailstones up in belco. i heard fyshwick got smashed and a guy was killed by a falling tree

Those are some mad photos, you should have had a crack at getting some mad lightning shots

A friends car was parked at his work in Newcastle when the storm hit, only a few hail marks on his 2003 Camry and the repair bill is $6500?? Seems a bit steep, considering there is probably only 20 dents all up on boot/roof/bonnet. Insurance covers it, but surely paintless dent removal would be the way to go for most of the dents.

Yeah i saw the lightning the whole trip up and through sydney, but couldn't click while driving. would have been easy, they were going off every 2 seconds

can't believe how many trees are down everywhere... i drove past Canberra Hospital just after and it looked like a tornado had gone thru

yep was shitty all right i was driving when it hit, drove home very quick to cover the car up, then no hail outer belco missed the hail but got smashed with the wind, trees down all over the place.

yea my car was very lucky the gf works at canberra hospital i rang her about 15 minutes before the storm hit saying get my car undercover she is like ok. She moved it then 10 minutes later the storm hit the hospital, she said she saw a roof come off the appartments across the road, tress getting shreaded plus the hospital was evacuated. Then when it had blown over 4 of the people she worked with had smashed windscreens and windows... so in conclusion she only just managed to get the car out of the storm.
