Thousands of homes across the suburbs of Springfield, Springfield Lakes, Rosewood, Thagoona and Willowbank suffered extensive roof damage, resulting in collapsed internal ceilings and major water damage to internal structures as well as home contents. ‘The hailstorm left more than $1. 05 billion in damage and 44,000 insurance claims lodged’, Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said.
Within 24 hours of the hailstorm, the Insurance Council of Australia declared the natural disaster a catastrophe. There was nine super cell storms and more than 296,000 lightning strikes across south-east Queensland during this event.
