HAIL STORM
"Mr Hall said the biggest hail stones reported to date were 9 centimetres in diameter around Boonah, though Mt Coot-tha, Bardon and Toowong pelted with stones up to the size of tennis-balls." /BNE times
YEP. Just came back from a 30min run with Cooper when the sky just went dark. Sitting on the balcony with Johnny and his friends, we could watch the dark grey clouds move closer and closer and all light just disapeared, although it was only 5pm. While all other dogs in the area went nuts, little Coop happily chased the hail balls that sprayed us on the balcony, eating them. Candles blew out, washing blew away, we got drained (although being under the roof) and lightning strikes where pretty intense!
The storm actually started already yday and, but I was up on the sunshine coast and didn't notice anything. However when coming back to bris, there were fallen trees all over the place. Even one of the massive fig trees in Davie's park had fallen (think like 6m diameter). Crazy stuff!
Here are some other pictures from Brisbane Times taken by residents around my area:
The worst seems to be over now though so hopefully it will be safe getting back onto the bike tomw morning!
