An updated warning has been issued at 5.10pm for the large dangerous storm west of Kilcoy:  And what the storm looks like on the radar:  The advice from Emergency Services on this storm warning is: Emergency services advise people to: * If you have children make sure they are with you or an adult you trust. * Park your car undercover away from trees. * Close doors and windows. * Keep asthma medications close by. Storms and wind can trigger asthma attacks. * Charge mobile phones and power banks in case the power goes out. * Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be identified in case they get lost. * Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are dangerous. * Tell friends, family and neighbours in the area. * Go inside a strong building now. Stay inside until the storm has passed. Please stay safe

SEWS still is required. I have some good lightning down this way but unfortunately I have street lights, poles and wires everywhere so I can’t get that shot I want so I can post. I don’t have a good vantage point anymore.   |

Many homes had their rooftop solar panels damaged and windows broken from the giant hail. From an article on the ABC website this morning about the damage caused by Saturdays storms: In Clifton, to Toowoomba's south, residents on Sunday morning assessed the damage to their homes and gardens from "bullet-like" hail.
 Some of the windows at Karen Finnie's home were smashed when the hail hit, sending glass flying around her home.
"They were quite large hail[stones] ... between ping pong ball to tennis ball-sized, depending," she explained. "It was coming in very fast and just started going through the windows."
The town of Esk was struck particularly hard, with house after house sustaining serious damage to rooftop solar panels. Rooftop solar panels in the town of Esk, north-west of Brisbane, were smashed to pieces on Saturday. (ABC News) Esk Caravan Park general manager Emily Willoughby said the storm brought the worst hail she had ever seen in the town.
"We're still reeling," she told ABC Radio Brisbane. Skylights and windows were smashed at the caravan park.
"Our park itself was absolutely decimated with the hail and the leaf matter ... it looks like we've got about five tonnes of leaf matter to clean up today."
Ms Willoughby said the park had also sustained structural damage and some guests' cars and caravans had been damaged.
"Watching the hail bounce a metre-and-a-half off the ground, and coming up and still hitting things was a first," she said.
Queensland SES state operations director Glenn Alderton said the storms, which the Bureau of Meteorology categorised as "widespread", had managed to "punch well above [their] weight". More than 80 per cent of all requests for assistance were for damaged or leaking roofs. "Large hail, lots of damage to windows and roofs … lots of trees down," Mr Alderton said.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli, speaking to reporters in Mackay on Sunday afternoon, said it was too soon to know how much the storm damage would total.
Source: https://www.abc.net.au/n...ter-giant-hail/105962090BOMs forecast for today for the Brisbane area includes the possibility of a thunderstorm:  And to verify that a storm is a possibility today the storm bird (Eastern Koel) in our front yard is very busy singing it's storm warning to us this morning
