Wind picking up a bit though.

Most of it collapsed before it got to Brisbane, though Logan, Jimboomba and down that way got a pasting

Well, that is the first time I've had a tornado warning. Luckily for me it stayed south of here. Scary stuff. Large hail and knifing rain are bad enough.

Pollyana

They are pretty rare in Australia, though I have to say they seem to be getting more common

Alfresco

Indeed.
