Storms pelted Victorians with hailstones as big as billiard balls during a wild Christmas Day barrage.
The damage bill could run into the tens of millions of dollars after hundreds of cars were bombarded, windows in homes and businesses were smashed and roofing was torn away.
Many Greek-Australian families had cars damaged and roof tiles and outdoor lights broken when the storm hit about 3.30pm.
However, in places with better weather conditions Greek-Australians spent their Christmas eve on the beach.The Greeks of Australia also attended the liturgy in Orthodox churches, set the Christmas table and baked the traditional bread and turkey as well as many other traditional Greek products.
