rs73 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 How's the storm damage count goes? It was such a big storm last night, many cars in our car park got flooded. My bro's brand new Accord Euro got wet carpet at the back. My car was still dry, luckily somehow.... All downstair (ground floor) neighbours were flooded. We're on first floor and lucky no leak from above. The weather bureau said there might be another storm tonight, I just hope it won't be as bad as last night. Hope everyone is ok...

(B1) MR_fanny Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 i almost got myself into trouble last nite at about 3am on springvale rd infront of the glen. saw there was alot of water on the road but a small truck was driving thru so i decided to give it a go in my mums 02 corolla. drove a third of the way thru and thought to myself "what have i got myself into". the water level started at 30cm deep then right in the middle got to about 70cm....when i saw one of those garbage bins floating on the road, thats when i started to shiit myself:D kept the revs up so water wouldnt get up the exhaust and stall the engine and somehow got out. just hopin theres no damage to the engine itself.

rs73 Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 my cars fine... it was outside all night too... didnt get any hail in our area... if its going to be like last night im heading to the beach to take more pics heheh Is there a chance of any damage to a car's mechanical when water rose up to door sill level, which means half the rim is soaked, and all underneath of car will be immersed with water including oil sump? That's the level in our carpark... my car was soaked up to door sill but lucky water still doesnt get in. 1 cm higher it would have been in.

funkymonkey Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 2 of my mates cars were seized when their cars got bogged in waist deep of water. my car was under a car port, so no hail damage, although my gutters are in all sorts of wierd shapes and the corrugated aliminum sheets on top of my shed look like swiss cheese. All plant life around the house has been destroyed (they'll grow back) coz the branches are broken etc. but that's about it. No major damage. Car is perfectly fine. Oh my TV antenna ended up in my neighbours lawn... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29091-hail-storm-damage/#findComment-597265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs73 Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Just washed the car today.... Upon closer inspection looks like I've copped some hail damage on the roof. Not really a dent, but if you look at it the surface ripples a little bit where it has been pounded by the ice... Can't see much on the bonnet, but found one tiny hail chip where the paint has gone, exposing the metal.

AutoTrust Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Well there was no storm really to speak of in sunny Lynbrook, but there was a spectacular light show on the horizon. Found out today that my step dads car was written off in the storm in Lillydale. the insurance company won't let him buy it back and that sucks, so anyone got a nice R30 skyline wagon or Pootara (pintara)! for about 3k?
