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

PDR Paintless Dent RemovalThe 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.

Heavy rains easing droughts February 2010

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Michael,

This has to be the first year in many years that widespread useful rains have fallen across such a large region of NSW and Queensland basically breaking the drought in many of these areas and I guess a follow up of January rains. Goulburn which for the first time in history had basically run out of water has full reserviors which is excellent.

Three tropical cyclones this week.

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

The Australian region has been active this week with three named tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclone Neville formed off the far north Queensland coast early on the 20th but was short lived: barely 12 hours. JTWC did not even issue a warning for it.

On the same day tropical cyclone Magda developed off the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It intensified into a category two system before impacting the coastline northeast of Broome on 22nd January.

And tropical cyclone Olga has formed this morning off the far north Queensland coast. Warnings are in place from Cooktown to Cardwell. It may be a category two cyclone at landfall.
