Hail, Concordia!

On August 23^rd 1991, an exceptionally heavy hailstorm transformed the College campus into a ‘winter wonderland’!

Earlier in that same year, on 22^nd January, hail did not lead to the same delight and fun. One of the most damaging storms to strike Adelaide crossed the city about 7pm. Hailstones reached 10cm in diameter, and the damage bill was estimated at $25 million. Nearly half the damage claims were for motor vehicles, but the hail also broke roof tiles and windows, causing water damage in many houses.
