What a day that was. I left my Skyline outside my mum's house and caught a lift to my cousin's wedding in Hawthorn. We suddenly saw this massive storm wall heading towards us, the wind picked up and started throwing branches onto the road and then the hail came. Luckily we were caught in nothing more than thumbnail sized hail but that was insane. Throughout the rest of the day we were caught in a massive traffic jam on Toorak Road as the trams had broken down and blocked the road, traffic lights were out, sections of footpath were raised up out of the ground, and then it only got worse when we got to Albert Park. Cars in the former Redheads carpark were in water up to their bonnets, plenty of expensive total write-offs. We only just made it through some huge puddles in the S15, any higher and we would have been in the same boat (excuse the pun.) I have never seen so much water. We had 1 month's rainfall in the space of 18 minutes.
Fortunately I checked my Skyline this morning and the big hail missed us. It's now in the garage, more storms are predicted. Sorry to hear of those who weren't so fortunate.
