Brisbane storm, 16 November 2008

Footage of storm at Upper Kedron on 16th November 2008, 4:40pm. The storm just got worse and worse, the clouds seemed to be swirling around in circles.

My son's trampoline is a mangled wreck, in hindsight I should have secured it properly along with the other junk I had in the patio. The fence survived without a scratch. I not sure how the bbq ended up on the lawn.

We got 200mm of rainfall in 30 minutes, and plenty of hail. I think we got off lightly compared to the Gap, which is about 3km south.

These types of storms are the Plague in parts of the USA whole towns are destroyed, by embedded tornados and extreme winds. Many towns and cities (air raid ") civil defense sirens to warn people of appraoching storms. Some homes have underground rooms to go into for safety..

I was looking at the swing set and wondering if that was gonna blow over, but it didn't..

I bet the kids were upset when they saw their trampoline destroyed, mine would have been, they live on the bloody thing.

This is very similar to what happened at our house in The Gap. Our shed ended up 100m away down the hill, we found a placemat from our back area on the street 400m away, our windows shattered, water came through the walls and one of the chooks vanished without a trace. We still haven't found it lol.

It was like this in stafford heights, and i got caught outside in it. I love storms, but this was a little different. I was equal parts terrified, and astounded

wow, it looks like someone used the hose on the glass and the water dripped down. haha. how bad was it in your point of view?

Have to love those 80-90 mph (130-140 kph) microbursts. We get plenty here in Illinois, USA
