The storm cell hit the Moreton Bay region late in the afternoon and continued up the coast. There were reports of caravans being upturned at Dicky Beach on the Sunshine Coast and hail recorded in some parts of the state.

Meteorologist Michael Paech said Sunday would see the last of the severe thunderstorms for south-east Queensland, with next week looking clearer and top temperatures just under 30 degrees.
