Got totally caught out with that storm yesterday!

Just picked up the car from the wreckers after my mother in law reversed into it to have it smashed by golf ball size hail! Our new car looks actually looks like a golf ball....write off.

Smashed solar panels on our hot water system, smashed pergola. All a few weeks before we are due to head over seas on our big trip. WHY????

That's terrible Rez I've had a car flogged by hail it was never the same everything just kept falling off after it was fixed.

We actually went storm chasing last weekend up to Double Island Point with a film crew hoping to catch the category 4 cyclone would bring in the swell but by the time we got there it had been down graded and moved up north.

So you just can't win with storms

Bummer Rez

My car copped a flogging too... bonnet, roof, drivers side pannels and windscreen all trashed.

Got home to find a tree fallen on the garage - dont think its done too much damage but looks like it totalled the clothes line

Got in early with the car repair guys and it looks like half of perth has lost their cars!!! They wrecked three as I was waiting to get mine looked at!!!! Can't believe you lost your garage! Thats heavy! We have two 50yr old gum trees in our yard and I was pretty relieved that they were still standing when I got home (Im kinda attached to them).

Oh well at least we weren't hurt eh. Thats the main thing.

Ha ha ha! I did the early morning surf check too!!!! VERY disapointing! I don't even think the worst storm in ages even shook up our straight banks .

Anyone had any luck getting in touch with their insurance people???? I swear they have unplugged the phone! ha ha.

I'm with you Shep. Both of our cars were written off. Our family of 5 is driving around in a little borrowed hatch back until we can sort out what we are doing.
