[quote:Anonymous Coward 27589449:MV8yMTIwNjMzXzM1NzcyODUzX0NCNzM4Njc4] It's the monsoon season guys - it's happens. Likely not twisters - they are pretty rare here it's just a seasonal occurrence, one area or another on the northern eat coast tends to end up bearing the brunt. To those in the area - stay safe guys, hope the clean up isn't too bad. [/quote]

up to two days without power after five tornadoes wreaked havoc in the area on Australia Day. Burnett Heads and nearby Bargara were declared disaster areas after twisters ripped through the coastal townships from 1pm AEST on Saturday, injuring a total of 17 people and damaging more than 150 homes. Two people were critically injured when a giant pine tree fell on their parked car on the Esplanade at Bargara, while two homes were completely destroyed in the mini-cyclone that struck Burnett Heads. Authorities said Burnett Heads was again struck by the latest in the series of twisters, which hit the area at 6pm AEST and 6.30pm. Two people were believed to have been injured in the second onslaught, with powerlines down and at least one roof torn from a home. And the Bureau of Meteorology says the worst may be yet to come. It has forecast the "strong possibility" of further tornado activity around Burnett Heads, Wide Bay and at Maryborough, south of Bundaberg.
