'On October 28, 2021, Christine Varelas found out that a mere 5-minute span can feel like an eternity when one is having a bad day.

Gripping footage surfacing from Salisbury Plain, Australia shows Christine stuck in her brand new car as she waits for a powerful hail storm to stop while hoping that it doesn't fully demolish her vehicle.

"So, it started hailing just after I arrived at work, forcing me to sit through it," the filmer said. "Unfortunately, there was no shelter to park under and I had to hear every bit of hail hitting my 8-week-old car."

Christine revealed that her car's roof and bonnet were damaged in the storm.
