At 5:30pm yesterday, I was taking the tram home from uni in sweltering 35 degree heat. Less than two hours later, as I was driving out to Tullamarine to pick up a friend at the airport, a storm of a magnitude I haven't experienced in quite some time swept across the city dropping hail stones up to four centimetres in diameter. Stuck on the highway, with nowhere to hide, I had no option but to drive on and hope for the best. Gusting winds, flooded roads, and many a near miss, I eventually made it to the airport intact. But it was definitely an adventure. My car is okay, but I imagine several others did not fare so well.
