I was driving down Gilbert Rd Glenhaven when the storm hit. I remember seeing the swirling sky just just like in this clip before it turned green with shredding leaves and flying branches. Our car got a good battering as my wife and I crouched as low as possible shielding our two young kids praying a tree would not fall our way. We were lucky but the car didn't fair so well with lots of hail damage to all but one side. Other cars driving by had shotgun sized holes in windows. Very scary... Funny thing was I went through the same experience in 1999 when I was in Turramurra on the Pacific highway when the last big super cell leveled a street about two blocks away. My insurance company hates me!
