cause we got nothing, just a loud storm and lightning, but no hail. We are in Lane Cove, was lucky though as my r31 lives lives outside

Although crissscross thanks for the warning mate - good to see members on the ball and alert others!

[Morgs]

I only just made it into the garage before the storm hit, but wasn't any hail after all. Seriously looked like it in the distance.

Hey Weevil, I got your message. I was trying to think of something funny to say back except I realised I've got nothing.

[evil_weevil]

In otherwords Rick - FAIL???

thurs next week though you can think of a comeback

Seriously though, Artarmon/lane cove we had no hail! which is good cause the r31 is on third party damage so I cant claim the dodgy!

[GMan]

im located in the hills area and was driving along west pennant hills and carlingford at about 7pm when the storm hit.
