Earlier this evening, radar imagery was showing a sixth tornado gaining strength about 30km west of Maryborough and moving south to southwest at about 50km/h. Locals are watching nervously after seeing Bargara, near Bundaberg, hit with the first tornado about 1pm. It brought down powerlines, tearing off roofs and flinging iron and windows across the streets. Burnett Heads, just north of Bargara, was then hit about 3pm with a third tornado ripping through Coonarr soon after. http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_update_read&edis_id=ST-20130126-38004-AUS&uid=13381 [/quote] thanks louisport, i stayed up for 'doom patrol'.. nothing here yet and some midori missing.. puppies i think.... slow and relentless as yet but nothing wild... we have 3 days to go so, not to hopefull as yet given the path it's coming on, still, nothing major.. just a tropical 'wetness'.... :) thanks for heads up [/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.
