Summer Storm in Brisbane - November 27th, 2014

I remember this storm so vividly. It was the very last day of year 11 and my bus (301 route to Toombul) dropped me off on Zillman road, about 1.5km from my house. I remember looking at the storm front rolling in and thinking, holy shit, I need to run home NOW. I was in school uniform with all my bags running home and I remember getting looks from people in their cars, meanwhile the storm was coming in closer. As I neared home it started raining and the storm was coming overhead, the blackest clouds I'd ever seen and I'd grown up in SEQ my whole life. As soon as I got through the door the hail started pelting down, I'd never seen anything quite like it. Was always glad I had the common sense to run home though

KZhead reccomended this 5 years later, anyone alive in 2020?

We were celebrating our first Thanksgiving away from home in Bowen Hills that day. This hit an hour before our party started. For reasons I cannot fathom, we still had a lot of Aussies brave this chaos in order to join us!

Yep typical Queensland summer storms! I love them 💖 One of the best parts of Queensland 😊

I was in Brisbane for long time. Become friend of you forever. Best wishes always for you

Brisbane looks wonderful. I love Australia. I wish i live there because i love the summer the whole year and the country is beautiful and going strong. And i love thunderstorms, but only no one is injured or worse. Only when no one is hurt i love these storms.

My goodness I remember this storm!! It was such a big one

The sounds of your board or whatever your riding on sounds so satisfying I love this video ❤️

It's a nostalgic feeling for me.. Thank u...❤❤❤

It feels so good to sleep during rain or hurricanes

The image of the bus near the end is spooky as hell. I can't imagine would it would have been like to be on that bus during the storm. And the "Help! Call Police" display.....like one of those end of the world movies. Awesome video though, I love storms.

We’re just gonna skip over the freaking awesome bike lanes? As an American I would dream of lanes like those!

I remember this storm. I live at Kelvin Grove at the QUT campus and it was just beyond belief. Hail knocking out windows in the buildings and everything on my balcony destroyed. It was really really violent.

So over the years I've learned beyond seeing clouds like that, if the wind starts to pick up really bad then seek shelter. Because you'll usually have little time before all hell breaks loose

If memory serves correct, I was in Brisbane at the time this one hit. I followed it up after a trip to Goldie, through the city and nearly all the way to Petrie where I was living.

"Help!!! Call police" is right...while the windshield wipers wave ineffectually back & forth in the air... During the first ride across the bridge, notice the distinct green color in the clouds on the left. That's always a very foreboding sign in an approaching storm.

I remember this storm. I was in the city that morning, and I had a gut feeling that something big was coming, so I left the city and got home as fast as I could, I didn't want to be stuck in the city with a storm coming.

On that arvo, I managed to make it onto a train at Park Road once the hail began. The sound of hail pelting that train cabin was ridiculously loud. The train remained there for a few hours which gave me enough time to venture to UQ via bus to grab some dinner... saw a whole bunch of trees uprooted. Really sad site considering I did my undergrad and postgrad there.

The best place to ride a bike is in Amsterdam. These trails are also boss! Thanks for sharing!

I can just feel the desperation to get home.

I remember that storm. I’d just started my new job that week on the 21st floor of Riparian plaza. The windows in the building rattled and we saw a deck chair and someone’s clothes horse fly past the window, swept away from a nearby apartment building. (It landed on Friday’s roof). When the storm finished, the city smelt like a garden salad from all the freshly shredded leaves stripped off the trees. And so many cars had smashed out windows. The bus stops on Adelaide st were packed to the max with people as the trains were down.

Just moved to Brisbane. Loving your amazing storms!!⚡️⚡️⚡️

I remember when I was little I used to love the wizard of oz and when this storm happened and I was in Brisbane at the time I said "OUR HOUSE WILL LIFT UP INTO THE SKY LIKE DORITHYS!".

oh man. I love our Brissy and Gold Coast storms. just an awesome phenomenon to experience

Lol. Poor bus. I live in colorado. We had baseball hail here a couple weeks ago. Big hail is no joke. Destroys a lot of cars and roofs and windows. Glad you had the bus stop for cover.

Amazing... Brisbane... from Brazil

Now this is my kinda storm!! I LOVE storms! The wilder the better

The cloud was completely black at south bank

Yay Australia finally got rain I’m a farmer in Victoria we have good years with crops but some dry and we don’t get much rain Good to see some! 😃

I remember reading in the paper about a woman in the Logan area where it was really bad whose car windows had been smashed in by the hail so she used her own body to protect her baby. She was covered in massive bruises with a big cut on her face. It was strange because the northern part of Brisbane I lived in was barely touched, just trees and some power lines taken down, debris etc. To read how someone was almost battered to death by hailstones was surreal.

Was this in the afternoon because I remember coming home from school and this happened and windows got smashed

@melbailey83 I'm just riding a regular bike. Sounds a bit different due to the GoPro being mounted to my handlebars thats all.

If I were going for a morning ride and saw that storm, Id go back to sleep.

for anyone wondering summer storm in November cause nov to Feb is Summer in Australia

I still remember that day. I was in Brisbane south side celebrating my mums birthday and we all just stood in the backyard and watched that beast roll in, as it got close you could actually hear it roaring.

Great video thanks mate and after seeing that, I am not looking forward to our next storm season.

I left my car down on the ring road that day. I came back to find it very much damaged. Amazing to see this footage!

there's places with bike lanes like those!!? 🤤 woww

I was caught driving in my car in this, we thought the windscreen was going to break, whole car pounded with hail when we pulled over waited for it to pass. So frightening.

Watching from Philippines! 🇵🇭 🇵🇭

Whoa!-talk about just making it!..Great video

Ahhh, my lovely hometown.

Ahh the good old days of brisbane when it actually stormed in summer!!!, the things i would do to see consistent rain again...

i remember this storm well! i still have video of it on the computer!

I was picking my brother up that day in Chermside and my mum was on the phone to my dad and he was like “I just went though loads of hail be careful” and my mums like “HOLY THERES HAIL HITTING US NOW!!” and we pulled into Craigslea or however you spell it. And rode out the storm. I was only like 7

Id just be chillin on that bus lmao, I had to ride the bus to school and i remember it being the coolest shit ever for some reason lol..

Como me gustaría que llueva aquí en Lima en este verano al inicio de esta estación llovió un poco más.Pero más fuerte me gustaría que llueva.

Loved it!

I was at Easts Leagues Club in Brisbane on that day. I remember looking up and seeing the ugliest cloud I've ever seen. I knew something brutal was on the way. 20 minutes later the gates of hell opened and golf ball sized hail rained down, with super strong wind and sideways rain. It was proper mental. Lasted about 15 minutes.

Un saludo desde alicante españa aqui una sequia del copon

I like it. Looks like my hometown. Brings back a lot of memories.

In Brisbane if it rains it is a miracle. the place goes for months and months without any rain .

Wow I remember this storm (so it was definitely a big one). Lots of damage around Brisbane CBD with roads blocked by branches, broken windows etc... It was probably the worst I've seen the place in a while 😅

They say when ever it rains in Queensland the whole state holds its breath

Gotta say, that's a beautiful storm!

Aahhh las tormentas de verano de finales de noviembre.. Que típicas ...

To : Jeremy T, I remember a hail storm that I was in & it was a really bad one in 1984, and that was 35 year's ago! I went to go see a heavy metal band called KILLER HEAD and all of a sudden this bad storm came out of nowhere? Alot of us that got caught in it, we got hurt real bad like myself,everyone got scared & didn't no what to do & I got stepped on real bad it left my paralyzed from the waist down? I have 2 spinal bones that are split to pieces that they can't fix, and I miss walking around with my family and friends!! So if your in a heavy spot Jeremy, stay alert and keep yourself safe okay ?? I'm gonna give this video 10 STARS ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡, because I like your video's & if you have more out there, can we see more like this?? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Usually when you get that kind of hail a funnel cloud could dip down at anytime and do some horrible damage.

' awww beautifully natural hailly and rainny in the weather

I remember that storm. I nearly finished year 1 when that happened. My grandparents picked me up and said ‘WE HAVE A BIG STORM COMING, WE DONT HAVE TIME TO GO TO MACDONALDS, WE NEED TO GET HOME BEFORE IT HITS US. We went home and during that storm, we lost power for a couple of days. A couple of hours after we lost power. We went to my aunties and uncles house to pick up some candles and then returned home. The alarm was going off so my grandfather turned it off while my grandmother and I were in bed. My parents were in England then. A couple of days later, the power is back on.

I love the brissy storms :)

Wow .....vendo em 2020...

Love u brisbane for such a dreaming weather. Heat summers hot sun

This storm wrote my car off. Still have but hail damage on every panel. Engine and interior still perfect

I remember this storm smashing out all the traffic lights on Ipswich Rd and wrecking my car. Lightning blew out neighbours aerial and fried a few things in our house. Smashed up heaps of buses near the city along with a lot of cars. Always good to remind myself for next month to get that undercover spot at the station. Cool vid BTW.

Crazy storm!

Брисбен-шикарный город!

i remember this, i had to walk home in it lmao

What camera do u use 😮 Niceeeee it's very hard drive 😮😮😮😮

I remember that day. Had to close down Work because several skylights in the factory started leaking and one shattered. Good reason to use the insurance to re-roof the entire factory the week after. Never had a problem the next time things started getting Stormy. The Boss even had us park our cars inside the next time we had a severe hailstorm.

What’s up Jeremy T. Сan I add your video to my channel?😀

2020 were you at!

I remember that storm.. I was in grade 6 and my swimming lesson got canceled 😂 (for obvious reasons)

I think Brisbane just can't have a thunderstorm without Hailstones. Wow!

This is my birthday 😪

Summer! It's near winter November in Europe

That's a pretty intense storm. I guess this happens pretty often in a semi tropical climate that Brisbane has.

2:05 the cloud of doom approaches >:)

I remember this storm, I was on the bus going back home when it started pouring rain. Hectic day

Now imagine that coming at you while your cruising up the coast in a boat!

That's some hail. You could tell there was going to be hail because the clouds seemed to have a greenish tint to them. Nice summer storm.

Great video m8t thanks for sharing

Wow look at that cloud!

4:59 Everything isn't so bad. 5:04 Shit starts getting serious.

beautiful

Amazing..

*A normal day In Aus*

I love it so much

November 27. 2014 is Summer with you 🤔? In Germany is in November Autumn 🤷‍♀️😂. Sy, i'm confused about that 🤷‍♀️😂😂. Awesome Video , thank's 🥰👍

Fun fact I live in Brisbane and was in my house 🏡 when that storm ⛈ happens . I was sooooooo terrified 😖. It was a hailstorm. Horrific wasn’t it My school has a fig tree 🌳 and it was one of the biggest trees at our school and sadly it got knocked down

My chickens house was crushed in this storm by a eucalyptus branch 😓

Is that a bike you`re on ? Sounds more like a skateboard.

I don't know if this was the day but I remember I became completely drenched just after 10 seconds of stepping out then the train stopped operating because the tracks were flooded so I had to get off way before my actual stop. I know it was in late 2014 so this could be it?

مشاء الله سبحانه وتعالى

Wat sort of vehicle ya on?

Feels like I'm watching a video game 😲

I love your name is Jeri jam 😊 great video!

This happened on my 9th birthday!

I wish we could have a storm like that nowhere in Brisbane

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the Insurance companies wrote off tens of thousands of cars as a result of this storm because it hit in peak hour as everyone was heading home from work and were caught in the open. They had such a backlog of claims that even lightly-damaged cars more than a couple of years old were being sent the the auction yards. Took them six months to clear the stock. I bought three in good condition for about $500 each and gave them to the rellies to replace the unroadworthy wrecks they were driving.
