Its a good thing Adelaide missed it or it would have done millions of dollars damage.<br /><br />Hey Jules, Again if it hit such a crowded area the damage would have gone well into the millions, as it is there aren't many towns here abouts so the damage was sparse.<br /><br />Hi Belle, Hail is usually pea sized here when it does come but this was exceptional.<br /><br />Hi Windsmoke, a beauty indeed...pity about all the wrecked cars, windows and roofs. <br /><br />Hi Sarah, In the middle of the storm the ground was completely covered with hail but as soon as the hail stopped and the rain continued the hail melted fast. Thats why my video shows piles of hail under the trees where it wasn't melted by the rain, everything was overed like that originally. <br />The common name of that tree is a Bookleaf Pine..Or Thuja Orientalis Aurea Nana, the Golden Biota.

Did the hail last awhile on the ground?<br /><br />Also, I want that cedar-esque tree you have in your front yard!
