Large Hail Headed Towards Australia


Heavy rain with a possibility of flash flooding is being predicted by meteorologists who warn a severe thunderstorm warning remains in place for much of South Australia.
Electricity was cut to the whole of Kangaroo Island on Monday afternoon after a lightning strike on the mainland cut power to the undersea cable.
Emergency generators at Brownlow were activated at 7pm to restore power in the Kingscote area.
"Scattered thunderstorms are occurring with and ahead of a frontal system which is moving across central and eastern parts of SA," read the statement from the Bureau of Meteorology.
"Some of these thunderstorms may be severe during this evening with localised damaging wind gusts and short-lived very heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding. 
"There is also a risk of large hailstones with the thunderstorms in the north, north of about Port Augusta."
