AUSTRALIA-WEATHER-STORM

A man surveys the damage to his parents home in Brisbane on November 28, 2014 following a storm which struck the area on November 27. Planes were flipped and roofs ripped off when hail and powerful winds tore through Australia’s east coast, leaving a damage bill of more than Aus$100 million (USD85 million) as the army helped clear up on November 28. The storm, which officials said was one of the worst seen in the country and the strongest to hit the city of Brisbane in three decades, rained hailstones the size of tennis balls on cars and buildings late on November 27, flooding streets and injuring 39 people.
