An extremely long lived thunderstorm began its life near Inglewood. It tracked steadily east-northeast for the next few hours, eventually becoming a supercell near Deverton. Around midday it reached Gatton, producing 2.5-3cm hail in the area. Winds gusts of 72 km/h were recorded at the observation site. At Mt Tarampa, 2cm hail fell and trees were bought down. Further east, the storm bought down trees in an area 10 to 15 kilometres south of Esk. After a brief period of weakening, the storm then reintensified over the D?Aguilar Ranges, before moving through the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where it produced very heavy rainfall. At Ball Lookout (near Eumundi) 45mm fell in 20 minutes and 51mm in 30 minutes. At Mapleton, 26mm was recorded in 10 minutes and 44mm in 30 minutes. The storm eventually dissipated around 6 pm. Another severe thunderstorm caused considerable damage at Gympie. Trees were bought down and roofs torn off many homes. The maximum wind gust recorded at the AWS at Gympie was just 68 km/h, however, the worst of the storm passed to the south and south east of the town. It produced extremely heavy rain with Mt Elliot (near Toolara) recording 51mm in 20 minutes and 61mm in 30 minutes
