Hey thank you so much Sharjay for posting and sharing those images. That is similar to what we saw but due to the mess, traffic, detours, and roads being blocked we could not get to pull over and take any photos.

I am glad you are safe and hopefully you didn’t receive much damage personally.

It was an horrific storm.

When we were waiting to be seated at Hoggs Breath, I asked for a table on the opposite side near the road and not looking over the water and boats. The waitress thought I was a bit strange, I said there is a nice breeze just here.

My wife and daughter felt safe, I was watching the radar and doppler from inside the Hoggs Breath at the Wharf and explaining what is going to happen and a few around were eavesdropping,then quickly looking at their phones. I tried to stay as calm and laid back but my heart was pounding. I was horrified at the radar and doppler and then looking at the sky.

About 20 minutes later there was a massive roar like a jet engine above us then we saw the funnel and debris hit the water and move to the other area of the Wharf.

There was a mix of straight line winds and rotational winds in that cell. It was quite frightening. The aftermath was surreal, almost like we were in a movie. We had to make our way back to North Brisbane so I ended up making my way up to Buderim and the carnage continued. Then the highway was littered with cars just smashed. The amount of side mirrors and bits of plastic lying on the road was unbelievable. Right down the Wild Horse Servos there were trees snapped, trees blown over, even roofing iron laying twisted from nowhere.

So thankyou Sharjay for posting those pictures because it was a beast.
