Major storms predicted in the Brisbane area for the next few nights so be on your guard guys. If you need to call the SES its 132500 throughout Queensland.
(to the uninitiated, sorry, "tarp the roof" means put a tarpaulin over it and secure it)

One storm produced hail the size of cricket balls, the Gympie times published a photo on the front page that I sent back to the U.K none of the rellies believed it was real. The hail from that one storm caused a few million in damage to property.

2003 we were living at Tin Can Bay every afternoon of the summer it seemed to piss down at 3.15 just when we had to pick the boy up from school. The Storms that summer were spectacular

I seem to remember the storms coming in at the exact time I got off the train in Strathpine. Got soaked a few times that way

LOL... we did rent there for first 6 months so are allowed to make disparaging comments. Actually the estate we were on was quite quiet and no problems think it's mainly down behind Woolies that is still the dodgey area now.
Well seems like it will be a rain free morning with afternoon return of storms.

Re: The Ongoing Weather Thread – Storms, Drought, Climate!!!
Anyone in Queensland not already watching the radar - there are major storm cells cropping up over much of the State. They are growing very quickly and moving very quickly. Situation not expected to change over the next few hours so be prepared for stuff to move in very fast.
Possibility of large hailstone, heavy rain, strong winds, very strong gusts, outside possibility of tornadoes.
