Hail!

The Border Mail reported that hail 'lashed' East Albury this week, and a commenter on their website thought their language was a bit strong. But perhaps the hail was very localised?

Build-It Bloke was working less than a kilometre from our place and said they got hardly any. While the hailstones were only small (about pea-sized perhaps?), the Little House on the Hill copped a fair dose and it did make a racket as it hit the roof and paving. It was quite intense, albeit for just five minutes. The gutters were overfilled seemingly at once, creating an effect like white curtains had been hung from all the eves and verandahs.

Here's how things looked shortly afterwards.
