A wild storm that swept across parts of the South Burnett on Saturday afternoon caused a string of cancellations.

The storm also dropped small hail.
In Kingaroy, the opening race night of the 2019-20 speedway season was called off.
“With more weather set to move in the Committee has made the decision for the well-being of competitors and spectators to cancel tonight’s meeting,” a club notice on Facebook at 2:00pm declared.
For the second weekend in a row, rain also affected South Burnett cricket matches.
