A powerful thunderstorm with large hail struck Queensland, with Brisbane experiencing the most severe impact. Hailstones reached golf-ball size and caused widespread damage to vehicles, gardens, and infrastructure. Strong winds, heavy rain, and intense lightning created hazardous conditions across multiple districts. Drainage systems overflowed, and several roads became partially blocked by ice, water, and fallen branches. Emergency crews, utilities, and local authorities responded to outages, debris, and reports of property damage. Meteorologists noted the unusual intensity of the hail cores and monitored the storm as it weakened offshore. Residents were urged to remain cautious as additional weather systems could develop later in the week.
