Unread post by Storm Struck »

I just came across this video on You Tube which was put up last year in August, some good sized hail there near golf ball size.

No where I can recognize, and I drive the BOP roads on a regular basis.

Oh ok that was the severe thunderstorm day, that brought an incrediable thunderstorm here and hail up to golf ball size around the Waipara area.
If it was north Otago this would have occured earlier in the day, might have to flick back to that thread to have a look did someone post about it did they?.
Here we go i found it and your right after going through the topic.
