The worst storm in Brisbane in at least a decade (according to electricity company Energex) ripped through the city's northern suburbs.

This video was taken just 200m from the destruction seen on The Courier-Mail's front page on Monday, November 17, 2008.

  • And there was more to come, last night (20th) around 1am severe winds woke me up in my Rosalie home. There was roofs off a few neighbouring properties and water was lapping at the front and back door, 5 mins later it was 450mm deep through the whole house.

  • Yeah, heard that was pretty bad too... 450mm deep through your house?? Yikes.

  • I still laugh every time I hear that at the end, "David, QUICK!"

    You can see the wind started slamming rain against the window, and at the same time windows in the living room had been pulled open by the force of the wind and the rain started coming in.

  • Thank you for sharing this footage. My parents live in Payne Road between Ullin and Kirri Streets. They were saved apart from a couple trees falling.

  • Well mate, then this video was about 50m from their house - taken on Ullin St.

    Hard to believe this was mild compared to just 200m away, where trees covered the roads!

  • Theres no such thing as a mini-tornado, this storm didnt produce a tornado whats so ever, it actually produced a microburst... this is just a very severe thunderstorm.

    I know the news might call them mini-tornadoes or mini-cyclones but the news is full of shit. ;)
