One towing company's car yard is now a sea of vehicles with hail damage awaiting assessment from insurance companies after a brief but powerful storm tore through the Sunshine Coast yesterday.

"It was just total mayhem out there. When it hit, it hit hard and the cars were just destroyed so it was all hands on deck to get them off the highway," owner Mike Clayton said."The amount of damage on the southern end of the coast is amazing and the size of the hail is not something you would see very often that's for sure."A lot of people were really shaken up because of the size of the hail that came down while they were in the car and visibility was nothing.

Mr Tuite said he expected the damage bill to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars with the majority of cars to be write-offs.

Note how the ABC deliberately avoided reporting on the millions of dollars worth of destroyed solar panels in the area? We have a term for that conduct, Deception by Omission. Anything that undermines their delusional green renewables dogma gets ignored as if it never happened.

Barnaby and the idiot foghorns: not everyone got the memo about 'quiet Australians'COMMENT: Barnaby Joyce this week referred to two of the people killed in the bushfires as 'Greens voters', followed by an assurance that he was not going to attack them One thing you got right here 👇 'Greens senator Jordon Steele-John who used his Senate platform to call Liberal and Labor politicians 'arsonists' over their support for the 'big stick' energy legislation – a long bow even for the politically desperate.' He sure knows how to tickle and outrage people, how often the fall for it and end up in a screaming heap. And the media that allowed him to be the loud voice. Rather than telling him to resign.
