BOM shows the wind coming from the S.SE and yet the storm is rolling in from the N.NW. Strange.

Sounded like a train

 We are in Stirling and could hear a rumble. Went out the front, looked North and saw it getting darker and louder. Then we saw the hail front creeping up the street...then it hit. Only lasted a couple of minutes but jeez it was intense.

 Our back yard looked white as snow, not seen hail like that before, absolutely defeaning as it came in. Kids had a blast filling up buckets of hail and had real ice bucket challenges haha

 Playing cricket in Morley the storm must have passed right around us, only a few light drops of rain, not even enough to go off the field
