Brisbane Hail Storm

Brisbane has just had one hell of a hail storm on Thursday 19th May 2005, the after effects look more like snow than hail.  These photos are from a variety of sources, and are here for future reference - after all this doesn't happen every decade. 

If you know (or your are) the original photographer please let me know so I can update the site.  Alternatively if you have photos please pass them through.

with thanks, Dugie.

And for those that are interested, here are some photos that were e-mailed to me from lighting prior to the hail storm:
