Severe Storms Have Swept Across Parts Of Queensland, Bringing Giant Hail | 10 News
The shed roof tears away. In footage from Carrs Creek in northern New South Wales, a resident watches the wind strip it off: "Our shed's gone! The shed roof just come off!"
That moment opens Natalie McGarry's account of storms sweeping through northern NSW and Queensland, turning suburban streets white with hail. At Waterview Heights, heavy rain and hail lash trees. In Maryborough, sheets of ice float along flooded roads.
"This is quite literally all just ice. Just ice," Leigh Simon says over the Maryborough footage. Resident Lotche Atienza shows hailstones collected from a balcony, while footage from Point Vernon captures strong winds and darkened skies.
The report puts the largest hail at Glenwood, where stones measured up to 10 centimetres across. It also reports fallen trees closing sections of the Bruce Highway north of Tiaro. In its accompanying description, 10 News says the Bureau of Meteorology described the storm as very dangerous, with warnings still in place for parts of South-East Queensland at publication.
The Short drew around 49,000 views before its first full day was over, far beyond the channel's usual Shorts audience. A separate, longer report on 10's Late News also drew an unusually large audience for its format, covering powerful storms stretching from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast.
