Melbourne Hailstorm

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

PDR Paintless Dent RemovalThe 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

Rain Storms and Floods NE NSW and SE QLD

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

The rain certainly spread to SE QLD and NE NSW since yesterday. The heaviest falls have focused on the Bellingen Valley with totals around 400mm at a couple of places. The Orara, Bellinger and Nambucca rivers are in flood. That’s the 5th flood event for the year at Bellingen and Octobers are not exactly renowned for floods!

72mm at my place (McLeans Ridges, NSW) most of which fell between 11pm and 2am. A number of convergence lines were evident and this meant narrow bands of heavy falls and some areas missing out.

Today is the 6th day in a row of thunderstorm activity which has made up for an otherwise poor start to the season.
