Sydney Hail Storm

A rather rare occurance took place in Australia on the 25th, as a hail storm caused damage to hundreds of Sydney facilities and buildings.
Landlords are counting the cost of the damage to their properties across the city, which will reach the millions, following the hail storm that ripped through Sydney on Saturday.
Goodman Group's Bungarribee Industrial Estate at Huntingwood in Sydney's west was the hardest hit with its roof collapsing.
A spokesman for Goodman confirmed that two of its facilities had been damaged, but all staff were unharmed.

"It seemed to hit that corridor with intensity, but we cannot comment as we are currently assessing the full impact," the spokesman said.
"There isn't the same level of damage that Sydney saw in 1999, but we won't know anything more until we can get into the property, and talk to our customers about any relocations plans."
It was understood that no major damage was reported for properties owned by DEXUS or Stockland, but some smaller warehouses around South Sydney and the western areas will be mopping up when they return to work on Monday.
Property agents said the storm was not as devastating as the April 1999 one, but it will still lead to tenants looking to relocate as they assess the damage.
