These were the storms from last night:



Any of you Queenslanders know of the extent of the damage caused by tonight's storms? They look far far worse than anything previously according to the radar!

Brisbane airport has been very lucky in the 4 nights of storms.Last night was the first night it was affected.Where i live in the NW suburbs of Brisbane we have had 3 terrible nights of flooding and cyclonic winds .Already 280 mm of rain however i had to guess Sundays figures as the rain gauge blew away.

Winds on Sunday were estimated at 130-140km/hr

40,000 homes without power isn't much compared to what they had on Sunday.

There is good news out of this though. The dams are getting a pretty healthy stock up, .
