These wet days seem relentless and I am wondering if it will end up leading to flooding. There are roads already closed due to flooding in the Lockyer Valley.

Hopefully there is no repeat of that 84/85 storm season you mentioned Colmait. I did some searching on that Hailstorm of the 18th January 1985 and the first entry that came up is an interesting pdf from Geoscience Australia. A quote from the pdf states:

"The most significant hailstorm in Brisbane was in January 1985, where a supercell caused extensive damage in two separate parts of the city over about a half hour period. The largest hail was approximately 63 mm in diameter (tennis ball size). Link: https://www.ga.gov.au/pdf/GA1489.pdf

Another interesting article about that storm says "The afternoon of Friday the 18th of January, 1985 is remembered by many Brisbane residents as the worst storm they had ever experienced." Link: https://www.ecn.net.au/~...sser/heritage/page6.html

Lets hope we don't get a repeat of that kind of storm. I remember a bad hailstorm in November 2014 that hit the Northside. The hail in that one was quite large and very jagged which made a mess of our car. It was quite scary how fast it seemed to all happen.
