Queensland was lashed by severe weather on Wednesday, causing ceilings to collapse both in a Woolworths supermarket and a martial arts gym in Morayfield, allowing water to gush through and flood both locations. There were 90 calls to SES for help across the state, with most in the Moreton Bay region, where winds reached 87km/h and residents reported feeling unprepared due to a failed alert system.
Southeast Queensland smashed by storm. The heaviest rainfall was recorded over inland parts of southeast Queensland, with 57mm at Kooralbyn, BoM said. Thunderstorms also smashed the western parts of the state, with hailstones about 7cm in diameter reported north of Injune, 600km northwest of Brisbane. “Storms are likely to develop and then move northeast, as well” BoM senior meteorologist Felim Hanniffy told 7NEWS on Wednesday.
