Video: Short Freak Hailstorm hits Rylstone

After days in the 30 degree heat, we had a short but intense storm hit on our farm, about 10 kilometers out of Rylstone.

It dumped 7ml of rain in 7 minutes, along with a ton of hail – some pieces almost the size of golf balls!

Then just like that it was gone, leaving a blue sky and a pokadotted lawn.

Of course, every stormcloud has a silver lining, and in this case it gave the kids some entertainment of their trampoline afterwards!

Do you live near Rylstone and cop this freak storm?  Did it do any damage?  Tell us in the comments section below!

 

Video’s: Flooding of Rylstone Showground & Cudgegong River

Cudgegong River flooding in Rylstone

After Bushfires and Pandemics, apparently it’s now time for Floods here in New South Wales in Australia.  We have had a huge amounts of rain in the last few days, causing massive floods in parts of the state.

Here in Rylstone we haven’t had terrible floods like other parts of the state, but a large amount of rain for our region nonetheless.  2 inches of rain less than a week ago, then 4 inches of rain in the last 48 hours, with far more predicted today.

Through Rylstone runs the Cudgegong River.  For years of drought this river has resembled more of a creek than a river; a small and stagnant waterway that meanders its way through the small township.

Find below a few images and a short video of what that usually small & stagnant river looks like this morning (23/03/2021).  These were taken from the It will be interesting to see what it looks like after even more rain today (Edit: Same size but faster flowing).
