Today, just a couple of hours' drive north of where I sit, there have been hail stones the size of tennis balls

Last night, just 5 mins away from here, three storm fronts converged so that the black clouds split the clear sky as sharply as if you had ruled graph paper and then coloured the margins against that sharp edge. Massive thunder, crazy flashes of lightning, golf-balls of hail - complete with urgent and persistent wild weather warnings on all media telling us where/when the hail and gale force winds would make land - and insistent warnings to get everything under cover immediately. It was so fierce that we sheltered at the local mall (so our car would be under cover), coming home after a couple of hours when it was merely raining heavily.
The night before, Thursday, I was lucky to make it home as day turned to night within 10 mins around 4.30pm, and fierce thunderstorms crashed overhead as they rushed past on their way to the sea, dumping as much rain in 90 mins as they could

Luckily our area was relatively unscathed, but the house shook a few times and we nearly lost power. In the morning on Friday though, it was amazingly still, fresh and clear: as we drove to the train station at 6am, we saw a wallaby hopping across the road (going from a waterhole to a flooded park); a long unfurled green snake basking by the side of the road; and a family of koala drying out up a ghost gum in the median strip of a main road.
Apparently we're in for 11 cyclones, minimum, this summer; with at least 4 of them predicted to make landfall between here and the tip of the country. That prediction was made before the super-typhoon, so who knows if any of that has changed things?
I figure this season will be a record for many things - either our summer or your winter. We get big heat and fires when you get super-snow or ice. We can swap stories and theories here, and let the weather category stay for the urgent chat and warnings.
