Pelting it down here again. No hail, just rain drops the size of small buckets.
Looks like the fire in Ningi and the newer fire on Moreton from yesterday's storm is about to get a good water too, which is good news.

Sadly next to no rain up here (again) and a few dry lightning strikes. One has taken out the electricity so no power here too.

Storm heading towards Caloundra now labelled as very dangerous.

I can see some clouds trying to rise to my south, presumably the Greenbank cell. I received 3mm from the very southern edge of the southern cell over northern Brisbane. No hail but with very large drops during a few brief periods of rain. Maximum rain rate of 40.8 mm/hr very briefly. The temperature fell to 23 C with the thunderstorm and now rising with the cloud clearing. Still very hazy. The dew point has continued to rise before, with and after the storm and is now 20 C. Relative humidity peaked at 83% during the storm. Wind was a little gusty with the storm. NNE to NE winds during and since the storm.

Above are some photos from this afternoon. The first 3 are from me looking from Mt Gravatt, the 2nd last one is from Bree Sternbeck‎ near Tamborine Village and shared to the South Brisbane Storms fb page
45 mins, and the last one is from Edwin Mens at the Glasshouse Mountains and shared to the South Brisbane Storms fb page.
Also check out the last link to the giant hail video!

Cars everywhere on the Bruce Highway near Sippy Downs with smashed and caved in windows too.

Wow Colin, it sounded like you were in the centre of it all. Glad to hear you were safe though.

Missed out here too, so everything must have formed at the end of my yard and just before Caboolture got it all. No rain for at least a week now.

Zero rain, zero wind and we had a powerful for 5 hours. Just came back on again though.

Been hanging to post some photos/videos but have had no power for over 7 hours due to storm that hit here. Can we add videos? Photos attached of our neighbourhood at Glenfields Estate, Mountain Creek (suburb next to Mooloolaba). Intense 30 minutes of mother nature's fury. Neighbour got a branch through his roof and pierced into his dining room. We have national park backing up to our house so am surprised we didn't get damage with the 40 metre high gum trees backing up to our fence. Just a lot of branches in the yard thank goodness. Neighbourhood looks like a bomb sight, trees and power lines down everywhere. Six foot high timber fences just blew over flattened to the ground by the wind like dominoes. I have never ever seen anything like it. I only walked through the area of destruction 30 minutes before storm hit. Am actually dumbfounded at the amount of damage around here. Hope to get more photos tomorrow, these just don't do the damage just but was hard to get in to get photos with dozens of people around. Anyway, been a long day/night so off to bed and have a massive yard clean up tomorrow with branches strewn all over yard. Good night.
