As predicted, violent storms tore across southeast QLD yesterday evening leaving 22,000 homes and businesses without power. The upside of the lightning show was the much needed rain that drenched the suburbs and dams from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast. The highest 24 hour rainfall total to 9am this morning occurred just north of Brisbane at Lipscombe Road with 135mm, Brisbane Airport received 54mm, and further south Upper Springbrook recorded 115mm. Fortunately, the dams also faired well with Wivenhoe and Somerset getting 31mm and 59mm, respectively.
Showers eased backed significantly today giving residents the chance to dry off.
