Hi Colmait, yes it was certainly a strong system that past through. Glad you got home safe. I heard it was a disaster on the Bruce Highway. Those photos I posted is of just one street in our neighbourhood. I walked through there 30 minutes prior to the storm as it is part of my daily walk route, so am a bit shocked as to what it looks like now. It is impossible to walk through that part now unless you walk on the road. I too also heard the roar of the wind coming and then all the trees just bent sideways. We live at Glenfields Estate in Mountain Creek (suburb next to Mooloolaba, so not far from where you were). I cannot remember being in a storm like that for my whole life. The destruction around here and Buderim Meadows is unreal and looking around by foot and car, it looked like a strong cyclone or bomb had hit. I am certain there is much much, more damage around to what we saw. We had no power for 7 hours so drove out to Sippy Downs to get Maccas for dinner and there were trees down out there and along the Sunshine motorway and windows damaged from hail. We saw a roof torn off a house around the corner from us and my neighbour got a tree branch in his roof and pierced into their dining room. Considering we back onto national park with old large trees backing up to our fence, I am surprised our house came out unscathed. We got some hail about the size of a 50 cent piece but other areas got much larger. I saw photos of cars parked at Aussie World and as they got giant hail the size of tennis balls, the cars are a mess. There were hundreds of cars caught in it on the Bruce Highway that got severe damage and dozens of tow trucks worked tirelessly for hours to clear the highway and tow them away. Our estate has underground power, but there are overhead power lines in the older section of Mountain Creek and dozens and dozens of lines were down on the road. We drove along Karawatha Dve in Mountain Creek and the amount of large trees down on the road and fences and cars was shocking. Did you by any chance get a screenshot of the Doppler wind radar when it hit? Would love to see it if anybody has it as I was too busy recording the storm on the phone and forgot to look at the doppler.
