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.
The Dent Shed, a paintless dent removal company situated in Melbourne are repairing hail damaged cars in the city. Call The Dent Shed

Finally heavy rains have drenched drought stricken areas of NSW with well over 100mm of rain falling in some regions and more predicted. Some rivers are in flood with a potential flood alert for other rivers. The Hunter Valley and the North West Slopes as well as parts of north eastern NSW are also to be affected by heavy rains.
This all is the result of Tropical Cyclone Laurence. That severe tropical cyclone made all the way inland with continued tropical cyclone warnings which is very unusual.
