Hail
Reports |
|
~
Thu 1st - A severe storm developed & moved through during the early
afternoon bringing brief small hail to Raymond |
|
Terrace. Tim Grugeon on the drive through
this storm towards Berry Park reported about 3cm hail & said he drove |
|
through a tornado! Berry Park reported 4cm
hail along with some major wind damage from the gust front. I believe power |
to the area was not re-connected until the
next day. The BoM told Tim that 3 other wall cloud & funnels were
reported |
|
that day. |
|
|
|
~
Wed 28th - Cardiff & Garden Suburb both reported hail & strong winds
which brought down trees. |
