Police confirmed there were no injuries reported from the incident.

The roof collapse appears to have left a trail of debris scattered across the venue, however, the full extent of the damage is still unclear.

A Brisbane local who witnessed the storm told 9News, that the wind gusts felt similar to a cyclone.

“I’m from North Queensland, so it felt like a cyclone-type noise,” she said.

“It was pretty loud, the gusts of wind.”
