Brisbane storms roll in without warning




Extract from Australian New story Sunday 18th November 2012
"BRISBANE only knew a ferocious storm was upon it yesterday when it was being pounded by almost cyclonic winds and hail, with forecasters issuing a warning too late.
The Bureau of Meteorology's Facebook page has erupted with criticism over why locals weren't warned of a severe storm until five minutes after it hit the inner Brisbane city yesterday morning.
It was the worst storm in 14 months.
Winds up to 90 kilometres per hour lashed the bayside, small hailstones fell all over the icty, four centimetres of rain was dumped on the CBD in just half an hour, and 10,000 lightning strikes tore through the sky.
Cars were submerged in the inner-city suburb of Bowen Hills and trees toppled over throughout the city."
