I found it very interesting reading the ABC news with regards to BoM’s lack of a warning for the Gold Coast, they only issued a warning well after the storm had struck. But the Lord Mayor was quoted, and rightly so as per the article

. Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate said the Bureau of Meteorology failed to provide an adequate warning to residents.

He said a severe weather warning was issued on Wednesday after the storm had already hit.

"They just got to do better and review it — if the software isn't giving them the right information, start looking around," he said.

"I know Mother Nature's unpredictable, but gee, you don't send people that it's going to rain when it's already pouring down."

Bureau of Meteorology has been contacted for a response.

The same can be said for Morayfield. It was not up to scratch and posed quite a risk for many residents and business owners. For whatever failure on the part of BoM may have been, it needs to be rectified rapidly as we head into storm season.
