~This happened just last Sunday, December 9, 2007 about 3.50pm. The hailstorm lasted about 20 to 25 minutes. It was scary and my very first time to experience such a natural calamity. Blacktown, Castle Hill, and Seven Hills were the most badly damaged areas. Thankfully, our little village (I call our compound a village) is covered with trees, so we were safely protected in that account. I was worried because most of the residents living here are very old people.~
