(CNN) Parts of southeastern Australia are being pelted by hailstones the size of golf balls, big enough to smash car windows and injure birds, less than 24 hours after the region was hit by massive dust storms. Golf ball-sized hail at Parliament House on January 20, 2020 in Canberra, Australia. He found an injured cockatoo that "screeched horribly" and took it to the vet, where there was a "steady stream of injured birds coming in." The hailstorm is now headed east toward the coastal cities of Sydney, Wollongong, and Newcastle, according to the Australia Bureau of Meteorology. The bureau warned that the cities could see "damaging winds (possibly destructive), large hailstones (possibly giant) and heavy rainfall."
