September 9, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

A large storm cell which crossed the South Burnett on Friday evening ripped off roofs, brought down trees and carpeted large areas in hail.<\/p>\n

Most of the damage appears to have occurred in the Nanango area.<\/p>\n

A flat in Burnett Street had its roof ripped off by the strong wind, with the rain and hail causing considerable damage inside.<\/p>\n

Local councillor Jane Erkens said there were tree branches down across town, and a large ironbark near the State School had been pulled out of the ground.<\/p>\n

Photos on social media showed damaged sheds and water tanks.<\/p>\n

The heavy rain and a blackout disrupted performances at the Heritage Nanango Country Music Muster but fortunately the showgrounds escaped the worst of the storm.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said a couple of caravan annexes were blown down and fallen branches caused minor damage to two vehicles.<\/p>\n

Karinya aged care facility in Church Street also suffered minor damage, with trees and branches down.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology issued a warning at 4:48pm for the storm cell moving north-easterly from the Bunya Mountains.<\/b><\/p>\n

It appears to have cut across the region south of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

BOM warned that damaging winds greater than 90km\/h and hail larger than 2cm was possible.<\/p>\n

Cr Erkens said the storm struck Nanango before 5:00pm but although large amounts of hail fell, it was mostly pea-size.<\/p>\n

There was still hail on the ground on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
