Well golf ball sized hail and winds up to 140 kmh did a lot of damage yesterday afternoon.
IN PICTURES: Wild storms bring hail, flash floods to SE Queensland - 9news.com.au
Compared to many I fared well. About 75% of the east facing windows on my house were broken. What I wasn't expecting was picking slivers of glass out of the kitchen cabinet doors afterwards!
I was on the boat at the marina. My pilothouse windows also face east and although the hail hitting them sounded like gunshots, they did not break. Also, my solar panel glass survived intact. Pretty amazing, so boat wins over dirt house!
Also, 2 cars damaged. Mazda 3 had rear window smashed, hail dimples all over roof and hood. Mercedes 4WD just had hail dimples on roof and along passenger side, which was facing east at the time.
So, talking to insurance companies and clean-up today, but hope to get down to the boat later to double check for damage.
