Last week’s hail storm didn’t make it out as far as our place, 20+km from town. However, there were plenty of storm clouds around that afternoon. These layers of white against dark gray greeted me as I turned on to our road.

Armidale hailstorm
Yesterday afternoon’s hail storm hit the south-east corner of Armidale, and did a lot of damage in just five minutes. This was the scene on my way home an hour or so after the storm – looking like winter instead of mid-summer. Those trees were full of leaves yesterday morning.
Driving was difficult, with cars crawling along the hail-ridged roads. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any way home for me other than through this area. Luckily, though, the hail didn’t extend very far out of town, so our place (and our dogs) were fine.
There are a few more photos over on Gordon’s blog.
