Sitting on the balcony outside in a comfy chair reading A Storm of Swords in the rain. Can't beat it.

Welcome to Rapture.Jamie xxoo said:I was at DFO next to Southern Cross eating in the food court when it hit. It was like just deafening white noise - I didn't even realize it has hail on the roof. A bunch of us were standing at the windows in the food court and everyone had their videophones out taking footage. The street was just blanketed in hail.
Next thing I turn to leave the food court and go shopping and I realize there's this waterfall separating the food court from the corridor and shops. Luckily I happened to have an umbrella in my bag so I popped it and went through, thinking how bad the roofing must be on DFO. So I'm walking past these shops in the mall and suddenly I realise IT'S RAINING IN THE SHOPS. *Pouring*. It seemed like a whole section of roof had opened up and tens of thousands of dollars of stock was getting SOAKED. Suddenly evacuation sirens go off and MORE waterfalls start appearing everywhere. I started walking quickly to the exit and then THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I full on ran out.
So into Southern Cross Station, and the same thing - waterfalls everywhere. I look up, and wherever the clear plastic sections of roof were, you could see piles of hail the size of small cars! They were making the plastic tear/collapse (I'm not sure if it is material plastic or solid). if you were under one when it went and that much ice fell on you you'd probably be killed.
Next thing a siren starts going off in Southern Cross and these station attendants are running around yelling "get out from under the plastic sections!"
Screw waiting for the whole roof to collapse I thought, I'd rather get soaked. So I went out onto Spencer street and the water on the road is like knee deep. I just rolled up my jeans and ran through it. Walked through the CBD, blanketed in ice and leaves (the hail knocked heaps of leaves onto the ground - it was just solid green, covered in ice in parts). There were alarm bells going off everywhere, firetrucks and ambulances racing about. It was like a scene from Cloverfield. I checked for large monsters and spider/crab things but didn't see any. Huge relief.
Got to Flinders Street station, absolutely soaked by now, and all the trains are cancelled. No trains going through Southern Cross, power outages on 3 lines. Went to the tram stop and squeezed onto a sardine-packed tram, hot as a sauna inside, and inched along for about an hour to get home.
Finally home safe and sound. IT WAS SUNNY WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE! Climate change is here.
Oh, hey AusGAF *waves*.

Yep, good for my garden, bad for my Saturday night.Frawdder said:It's also raining here in Adelaide for the first time in a while. It's like the weather has changed to Autumn and said "Fuck you, summer's gone so get ready for winter you bastards"...at least in some places.

OMG. Valeo from GPOD, is that you?valeo said:I'm in Pakenham and I didn't even get any hail. Was a bit disappointed.
I was bummed about that too. I got to make about 500 heavy rain puns though so it worked out.valeo said:I'm in Pakenham and I didn't even get any hail. Was a bit disappointed.

Looking at the photo album linked it seems they where pretty much "as big as golf balls"Mar said:If the hailstones were big enough to break his car window, I'd say that window is the least of his concerns.
