Hail Porirua?

The weather yesterday became a little exciting around the region yesterday afternoon - with heavy hail falling in Wellington - http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5619177/Storm-surprises-forecasters

I was in a meeting with some of our colleagues in the Hutt Valley, so while we heard the thunder, and some hail hitting the roof, I honestly have no idea how bad things were in Porirua. I saw a few small drifts of hail stones by the side of the motorway on my way back here, but the roads were almost totally dry and the sun was shining.

Was the hail a problem here? Was there an awesome thunderstorm that I missed seeing? Let us know your experiences.
