Hail as big as golf balls fell from a severe storm in Queensland, Australia, Wednesday afternoon, leaving damage that knocked out power to thousands and forced the closure of at least one school.
the hail quickly piled up on streets and yards, turning the scene into something that resembled winter. As many as six patients had to be evacuated from Chinchilla Hospital after the building sustained hail damage, the Australian Broadcasting Company said.
Damage from the storm is expected to rise into the millions of dollars, according to the Chronicle.
Hailstorms in the Chinchilla area are fairly rare, according to Australia's climatology. They're most frequently reported in areas along the continent's southeastern coast, which is also where the population is most dense.
