Queensland is reeling from another bout of intense storms, with areas south of Brisbane experiencing winds exceeding 100km/h.

In Warwick, the tempest wreaked havoc, ripping roofs off homes, toppling trees and powerlines, and damaging parts of the local turf club, marking another tumultuous day for the region.

As daylight broke, residents of Victoria Street awoke to find metal roofing strewn across their lawns and a house’s garage door torn away by the fierce weather.

Trees were uprooted, crashing into backyards and homes. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported from the storm, which swept through the town around 8:30 p.m. (AEST).

Due to the damage, the Warwick Turf Club has temporarily shut down while it assesses and repairs the destruction caused by the storm.

The machinery shed was torn to pieces and collapsed within minutes, while part of the clubhouse roof also went flying due to the high winds.

“It’s a bit devastating,” track manager Maurice Monckton said.

“At the end of the day, at least the track’s still good.”

The local golf club is also expected to be closed for several days, losing around $10,000 in trade as a result.

Despite the local school being in what locals describe as “a mess”, it remained open today and hasn’t suffered significant damage.

The clean-up effort continues around the town, with a number of power poles still needing to be repaired after they were felled in the storm, with locals still expecting more spring and early summer storms to come their way.
