We have lived in Brisbane for about 18mths but had so far managed to avoid any major hail storms.

Australia's hail is famous. It is often in the news that such-and-such has been hit with a major storm and roofs are often collapsing under the weight of hail, occasionally falling in stones the size of golf balls.

But so far, any bad storms have skirted around the northern suburbs and Northgate has been left unscathed.

Last night's storm was quite severe in some parts of Brisbane, but it had peterred out by the time it hit us. Northgate had to settle for marble sized hail stones; but still quite impressive when they cover the road and are banging on your tin roof.

This shots is from the Courier-Mail, presuambly taken earlier in the afternoon, out west.
