This quote might help explain what we have to plan for down under...
An estimated 20,000 homes and 60,000 cars were badly damaged in the storm.
Flying glass and collapsing ceilings seriously injured several people. Hail
stones as big as footballs tore through tile roofs, shattered windows and
skylights and damaged many cars beyond repair.
Worst-affected were the largely working class and immigrant suburbs of
Kensington, Kingsford, Randwick, Botany, Alexandria, Rosebery,
Marrickville, Sydenham and Miranda.
The ice balls were reportedly the largest to fall in Sydney since early
last century, but the storm was not a "freak" as media reports claimed.
Meteorologists have estimated that serious hailstorms hit the city every
two or three years. In this case, relatively warm autumn weather sent
moist air upwards, where it met cold air, causing larger than normal
hailstones.
