Default Freak Australian weather..

Hi guys,

thought you may want to see this vid i took today..



The ice dented my focus ST on the bonnet and also cracked the bumper, my neighbours car which is a ford XR6 turbo wasnt so lucky his has 70+ dents in it.. our house roof was dented to f**k and people around us with roof tiles had them broken etc

Heres a pic of the ice blocks that fell from the sky first..




here is is next to a 24mm socket..



and the vid

How far wide an area did that weather effect?

Imagine being stuck on a golf course or the like!
