The size of the hail caused significant damage, with the SES responding to thousands of calls for help for rooves that were smashed.
“We heard it coming up the valley and it was like a bomb hit the area. Huge hail, so much damage,
“It did damage to the car… it was pretty big, ” another resident said.

Trams were also suspended between Helensvale & Southport stations due to a power outage, but have since resumed.
The BOM said on Twitter that “supercell development” and the threat of giant hail had eased by Saturday night, but continued to warn of severe thunderstorms ahead: “Things are volatile & dangerous storms are likely to keep firing up this evening.
Conditions are set to ease for south-east Queensland on Sunday, with a sunny day expected.
Now, imagine a terrible hailstorm where the hailstones weigh 75 pounds!!!! That day will eventually come (Revelation 16:21). (Click to Source )
