Many thanks to the SES, Police, Fire Department, Army, and anyone else who helped.

  • How long were u without power please reply

  • @mrilovecarsful1 from memory it was about a week

  • Great Damage vision Damian, I'm a storm chaser (Jeff Higgins) from Gold Coast. I had filmed the destruction from Canungra and Mt Tamborine that day also. That storm later became The Gap storm. I remember commenting on structure that " I had a feeling it would drop a tornado" , well no reports of one. But winds to 175km/hr with some higher gusts through The Gap is insane. I have chased many severe storms but never seen one this bad going by videos on here. Glad you and ur sister came out ok!

  • Yeah everyone thought it was a tornado, but turned out to be a microburst (which i'm sure your already aware of :P). It was pretty bad, as a suburb though i think we were extremely lucky. Thanks :)

  • lololololol That dryer wasnt put there by the storm! I know who put it there! ROFL

  • I had a suspicion that it was man made :P

    well tell that person it made the news, haha channel 10 used this video and used that shot :P

see all
