Sydney, Australia copped it pretty bad this week in terms of storms and flooding.
This afternoon was particularly bad with large amounts of hail. Several steel framed buildings collapsed due to accumulation of hail on the roof.
My question is how did the hail accumulate? Surely the pitch of the roof would prevent this? Pictures below.
