That was a lot.
Parts of north-east Melbourne have just been lashed by one hell of a hailstorm – after what was a delightfully sunny, almost spring-like morning.

SIGN UPOthers on Twitter saw similar scenes in the northern suburbs of Mickleham and Craigieburn.
Check out the hail storm at Mickleham not long ago! 😲

It was felt as far out as the Mornington Peninsula.

And another Twitter user put it perfectly: “Getting smashed by hail. Sounds like a Slipknot concert!”
