Severe hail storms were recorded between 3-6 November 1995 in south-eastern Queensland. Large hail caused extensive damage to over 300 homes and many cars in Brisbane. One person died when a small boat was struck by lightning on Moreton Bay.
Many trees and powerlines fell causing widespread blackouts to approximately 100,000 homes. Large hail brought destruction to fruit, vegetable and grain crops, particularly in the Granite Belt region. Other areas seriously affected included Beenleigh and Beaudesert.
The Insurance Council of Australia estimated the 1995 storm damage at $40 million, with the 2011 estimated normalised cost of $166 million.
