i ended up probably one of the lucky ones
at home 2 broken tiles & a sky light.. plus both son's car a little battered. The power was only off less than 24 hours.
at work.. still only half power after 48 hours, plus the car only suffered a few dents & a broken windscreen
Looking at some houses & cars.. it looks like they did about 20 rounds with Mike Tyson 
Not sure how Chook went 
the closest thing to the storm i have seen before... is the outside edge of a tornado.. strong wind, heavy rain & big hail.
but the first storm cell (the worst one) was 10 kilometers wide 
the next one.. not so bad... was 30 kms wide

Only the side of the storm went over my place - some loud thunder and heavy rain, but no hail. My brother's work is right in the middle of it though and his car was trashed.
I was driving around Perth yesterday and several sets of traffic lights were not working and I saw several cars that looked like golf balls!
