more likely a windblown tree branch or roof tile.

We had them in Sydney in 1989 the size and shape of Corn Cobs and in 1999 the size of Grapefruit
The Hail in 1999 smashed up 21000 homes, so much so, to clad Rooves in the original Slate, which the Heritage Council insisted on, a Slate Quarry in Wales was reopened to supply them, I got 14 months work out of that Storm, and there were still Rooves with Tarps over them when I left Sydney in 2000:Sad:
never seen 50mm hailstones but have seen 30mm in the southern counties and the damage it leaves behind. makes a real mess of new cars and my friends dealership had all the cars on display on the forecourt damaged. many thousands of pounds of damage and loss of business. at home the polycarbonate car port was like swiss cheese as were many others

Often wondered , how do solar panels fare in hail storms ?
So yes we do have extreme weather in this country. we also had an earthquake which was also on the news., at the time I was at my computer, all of a sudden my chair was turning round and I was at the other side of the room, [HI]so now we don`t rule anything out[/HI].

Oh yes we have had 2" hail stones on the 28th June last year, it was on the television, we are in Leicestershire, and millions of pounds worth of damage was the result,
My husband had 600 dents in his Mondeo Titanium X, he had only had the car 3 weeks, luckily they were able to repair, did a good job, our caravan on the other hand was a write off, took the insurance company 3 months to decide this as there weren`t able to get the panels, we also had 2 holes in the roof, as we had new for old, we had to have a new caravan, had to put cash to it though,otherwise we would have lost out, my Volvo estate missed it as I was out miles away.
