RavenshoeTobes
The SES warning specifically told people to stay indoors and keep away from windows because of the giant hailstones risk - that's the real danger most people don't think about in these storms. Yass copped extensive damage while Goulburn missed it, so even a few kilometres made the difference between a close call and serious property damage.
