Under attack again

[jean2579]

After Mondays devastating storm we are again under HUGE hailstone attack. They are so big they are hitting the ground and bouncing high in the air. They sound like bullets being fired.

Not so easy to fix the bumps on bonnet, roof and boot Corgi. Hope it does not devalue the car too much.

Golf-ball sized hail for the second time in 6 days at Greenbank in Brisbane, with a lot of corresponding vehicle damage. Most of the cars I saw trying to leave the Pub Lane shopping centre / pub before the hail really set in had already lost their front and/or rear windows. Miraculously, I was parked beneath a sail and suffered no damage whatsoever.

More than half of the pub's staff had glass and panel damage to their cars, and one of the cooks placed in the freezer (for posterity, presumably) 2 hailstones the size of rock-melons! I've lived in this area for 29 years and this degree of storm activity is unprecedented in this region.

So far in the space of 6 days we have been hit with insurance excess of $1000. Each item is classed as a separate claim. Only fair I suppose but a bit hard to come up with that money on the Age Pension. Looks like a lot of spagetti on toast for a while.

WOW, those are huge.

[moaningmyrtle11]

Yes they are, that's what we got at Greenbank this afternoon.

The news just said there is another severe storm cell heading up the coast, from nsw towards  Brissie.

[jean2579]

Bet our insurance premiums up the Coast to Brissie go through the roof.
