[Rumpig]

watching Higgins Storm Chaser live feed right now, he's saying to watch channel 9 news tonight for HD footage from yesterday.

Well last night was an awesome light show.  No photos though ... too busy drinking at the BF's place ... not the best place for photos anyways.  Constant rain ... checked the guage this morning and it's 41 and a bit MM.  I thought it might be more.

Storms all around here today ... I got sprinkles.  Still more of the day to go.

we are not far from Archerfield and got practically no hail, you could hear tiny bits hitting the roof in the rain falling, but we got nothing really. have read on weatherzone of  2- 5cm hail falling in many areas to the West of us (Archerfield, Collingwood Park etc).

Strange how Brisbane got smashed yet Moreton had only a few drops and little wind on the Friday Night, Saturday was pritty clear for the most part till Night fell then we only got I'd say 5-10mm and not alot of wind maybe 15-20kts but I was pritty well sheltered, only issue was it was still drizzling into Sunday morning when we packed up camp AGAIN!!!!

[Swannie]

The suburb of middle park in Brisbane got smashed pretty bad. On a flight up there this evening. It appears the main damage is wind related and focused around 5-6 suburbs around that middle park area. Country areas appear to have held up well.

Rain guage says another 3mm yesterday.  I wasn't sure if it could hold that much but seems it can!     I'm at Springwood (give or take a suburb) and we had particular issues with leaves being blown all about.  Gonna take me ages to clean them all out of my yard!   

What a Fizzer IMHO!

Here's a timelapse i took yesterday afternoon at sunset near Boonah. This shows the storm which hit Brisbane last night (sunday) being created. The camera is facing south west so Brisbane is behind the camera, the storm actually comes towards the camera but you can see the low level clouds/moisture being sucked back west into the storm before it gathers pace and heads into Brisbane. It's about 30 minutes compressed into 36 seconds.  http://youtu.be/q0X-uUf1UrQ

Sent from an overpriced, overengineered, outdated gadget that can make phone calls, sometimes.

and now for the thousands of insurance claims, and 100's of scammers to rob the elderly and uninsured and tradesman hourly rates going up x120

EG: 4 days ago would have cost $2000 to fix, now $24000
