The Gympie radar is showing we might get a little rain here in Tin Can. No hail by the looks of it.

The mountains seem to split the storms on the way in when we get 'em.

Was on a virgin flight from Melbourne to Brisbane. Due to land at 5pm EST. Flight diverted and now sitting at Coffs Harbour airport. Told we will here at least an hour. At least they let us off the plane and the bar sells XXXX Gold. Could be a long night

Control tower cleared us to take off, eventually. Really eerie sight as we took off into the edge of the storm and came out through the edge of it. Hope everyone ok.
Just landed back in Melbourne.

Oh poop, I might have spoken too soon.

On the Gympie radar, its turned a bit towards here.  :-[ Either way, its got a bit of red and purple in it, so its gunna be good whoever does get it.

Anyone camping on the North Shore/ Teewah Beach might get a tad wet and windy.

We got about 3 minutes of rain.........bit of thunder and lightening..........but not very very frightening......

Usually misses Noosa....Maroochydore can get hail and flash flooding and we get a sun shower. Not sure why that is but usually seems to twist around Buderim and go offshore before hitting us.

We'll that was an interesting end to this afternoon....yesterday we got our smashed windows repaired from the storm that hit Brisbane about 10-12 weeks ago. This afternoon we've just copped another hail storm that lasted for a east 15 minutes, hail bigger then marble size and just didn't want to stop falling. Thankfully the new windows held up this time around, so all appears ok....have seen pics already of golf ball sized hail that hit the neighbouring suburb of Oxley, so thinking plenty of vehicles will get written off around Brisbane after today.

Man. We are just lucky were we are, I know people at Helensvale that got smashed again, but we only got  a bit of heavy rain again.

Ahh Queensland, beautiful one day  8), smashed by hail the next  >:(!

You poor buggers haven't had much luck lately. Hopefully you don't cop too many more bad storms so you get a chance to recover! All the best in coping with it all.

My old GQ was in the carpark at the QEII hospital when the hail hit with some up to golfball size. Had a look at the old bus later and could't see any dents.
The hail duration lasted longer than it does in other recent storms though interestingly.

My old Ford Maverick ute has got quite a few dents in it from the pre xmas storm that hit...I didn't see many of them for several days after the storm and thought the vehicle was ok, but as i sat in traffic i kept noticing more and more dents on the bonnet (also noticed them on the roof aswell). Considering those sections of the vehicle were under a carport, it just shows how sideways that hail was coming in that day with the massive winds we had. Doesn't bother me about that damage as it's just a cheap work ute i bought, it did cost me $45 the other day to replace the smashed drivers side mirror from that same storm though.....lol
