"Beast of a Storm" Hits AustraliaMelbourne - Residents of Melbourne braced themselves yesterday for more weather after a "beast of a storm" ripped through Australia's second largest city, bringing with it hailstones the size of a tennis ball.
The mini-cyclone which smashed into the regional capital with winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour was an event which had likely not been seen since early in the last century.
The fierce storm, which flooded city streets, saw some 26mm of rain fall on Melbourne within an hour on Saturday while other areas recorded up to 70mm.
In the city centre, the National Gallery of Victoria suffered flooding, while the Docklands Stadium was among those buildings damaged during the storm.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the hail that hit in one suburban area was up to 10cm in diameter.
More than 4000 people contacted emergency services for help as the hail left in the city blanketed in what looked like snow.
The violent storms eased slightly yesterday and affected the central areas of Victoria state including Echuca and Shepparton, according to broadcaster ABC.
With more violent storms on the way today, Victorian Premier John Brumbly urged people to be careful, particularly in areas hit by bushfires a year ago which have unstable trees weakened by the flames.
