October began with an active pattern over the northeast NSW and southeast QLD region. However, it was the north east of NSW that scored major direct hits. The most significant supercell occurred on the 9th October 2007. This storm was the left mover from a split pair and made a direct path as it rapidly approached Lismore. Although the northern parts of Lismore were worst hit, the whole district was affected as the storm powered on towards the Brunswick Heads area. Hail to the size of cricket balls smashed house and car windows causing widespread damage. This storm left an insurance bill well into the tens of millions of dollars.
