Severe storms have swept across Queensland, bringing flash flooding – and much-needed rain – to communities that a few days ago were fighting bushfires.
At the height of the storm on Tuesday evening, more than 37,000 homes between Rockhampton and Gympie were without power as gales felled trees and damaged roofs. On Wednesday morning a few thousand people were still waiting for their electricity to be restored.
Further north, on the Atherton Tablelands, buildings and cars were damaged by hail.
Coastal and inland areas north of Gympie received widespread rainfalls of between 25 and 50mm, with some areas recording almost 100mm.
