    So, i was minding my own business at home yesterday, it started to rain, then I heard thunder and next thing I know it sounded like someone was attacking next doors tin roof with a Chainsaw.

    It made all the news stories

    Here's what happened at my place.

    So it begins

     

    5 Mins Later

    It kept going for about 40 mins

    Water was leaking in through my ceiling, dribbling down the wall, towel's out on the floor and power points covered.  Checked out the roof today.. gutters are full of sand and Moss in that corner.... cleared them out a bit, needs more work



    The hail stopped,  drizzling rain slowed down

    In this pic, you can see an indication of the LEAVES , now COVERING my back yard, they are everywhere. Had to clean out the fish pond today.
    The street 'gutter' was like having littel rivers on either side, Lower down the street it was like a swimming pool at the cultersac.

    Front Yard


     

    & then the sun began to appear, 15 mins after the hail.


     

    Full sunshine now , not a cloud in the sky



    That was around 1pm yesterday.

    As I write this the heavens just opened up again

    2:30 Pm , thunder...  i hope there is no more Hail.
    Hope the gutters are cleaned enough temporary
