The State Emergency Service is advising residents to take all precautions including moving their cars under cover or away from trees, securing or putting away loose items around the house, and staying clear of creeks and storm drains.
Queensland has also been warned of possible further storm activity today as people in the Brisbane begin assessing the damage caused by severe thunderstorms yesterday.
