Penrith Hailstorm December 16th 2010

more work around the dent using special tools 300x200 Penrith Hailstorm December 16th 2010

The Penrith region was devastated by a massive hailstorm. Many cars were damaged by hailstones the size of golf balls although hailstones to the size of oranges hammered the region near Warragamba and Silverdale.

It was one of the most serious hailstorms to hit western Sydney since the massive hailstorms that affected Blacktown just over 3 years ago.

The size of the hailstones indicate that in some cases car owners may not even realise they have hail damage. The Dent Shed, professionals in paintless hail dent repairs are assisting during this hailstorm with hundreds or even thousands of cars affected. Feel free to contact The Dent Shed on 1800 042450 (1800 0HAIL0).

Perth Hail Storm March 22nd 2010

25 Mar

Perth suffered devastation after the worst storm hit the region in 50 years. Hailstones up to about 6cm in diameter driven by powerful winds to over 100km/h smashed car windscreens as well as solar panels and windows of homes across the northern suburbs of Perth. Although the rain was welcome breaking a 104 day dry spell, flash flooding caused chaos to traffic and added to the damage of some homes. The Insurance Council of Australia says claims have already exceeded $200 million mark.

Melbourne Hailstorm

10 Mar

The Melbourne hailstorm does appear to be unprecedented for Victoria in delivering gorilla sized hailstones. Hailstones up to 10cm diameter were reported by a Bureau observer south east of the CBD. The damage to vehicle and roofs in some areas leaves no doubt there was massive hail. Most other suburbs along the storm track appear to be mainly golf ball size. The very heavy rain also caused widespread flash flooding.

The Early Warning Network provided hail warnings via SMS before this HP Supercell moved through the suburbs of Melbourne. Members of this service were able to reduce property losses and move their cars to shelter. Join now: http://www.ewn.com.au

The Melbourne Hailstorm – A devastating hailstorm hits Melbourne 6th March 2010

09 Mar

The Melbourne hailstorm that smashed the city on 6th March 2010 was such a significant event that many people in Melbourne have yet to witness anything like it. It cut a swathe of damage right across the city causing hail damage to cars and houses! It is a horrifying experience for anyone who was involved particularly those out in it.
