Lord have mercy... wow, that's something else. You said it came thru the "next neighborhood", so I take it you didn't experience this at your place...i'm assuming both your car and your home were not damaged.. Count your blessing buddy, just think of how pissed you would be if your new Lexus got beat down by baseball size hail. YIKES...

Yeah we only got some heavy rain but nothing else thank good. Went for a drive today to have a look at the damage man what a mess,
The hail was so big it managed to put large dents in the houses with tin roofs and all of the solar panels on the roof tops in the area were completely obliterated by the hail.

I've been in Australia when one of these storms passed through. Seems like most are in the north. Brief but very damaging to people and property. I viewed a video of one that killed many young sheep that had no shelter. You really did luck out. GOOD LUCK with the new wheels

Here's a video of what it looks like...

Wow that is some crazy hail! You dodged a bullet (or more like an an artillery shell), hope no one got hit by that.
