Wild storms lash south-east Queensland, leaving thousands without power
A person has been struck by a tree during wild storms which have brought destructive winds, lightning and heavy rain to south-east Queensland.
Key points:
- During the height of the storm, Energex reported 33,000 homes had lost power
- Some homes are not expected to have their power restored before Monday
- About 78,000 lightning strikes hit south-east Queensland
Critical care paramedics took the patient to Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious but stable condition, the Queensland Ambulance service said.
By Sunday evening, the severe storms had eased but the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) warned they were likely to reform.
“The situation is being closely monitored and further detailed warnings will be issued as necessary,” the BOM said.
