A major cleanup is underway across southeast Queensland after severe storms tore through the region, bringing down trees, tearing off roofs and leaving tens of thousands without power.
While the Gold Coast was largely spared from the worst of the storms, Logan and Brisbane bore the brunt of the action.
Dangerous cells swept through in the afternoon with damaging winds and heavy rain, while small hail was also reported in some areas.
Wind gusts of almost 100 km/h were recorded in Brisbane at the height of the storms, while some areas received almost 80mm of rain.
A house in Regents Park had its roof ripped off while a large tree fell on cars at Eight Mile Plains, trapping one person for some time.
The SES responded to 320 calls for help, with 243 of those coming from the Logan area alone.
The storms also left around 80,000 homes and businesses without power.
As at 6 am Thursday, 56,000 customers were still offline, with the vast majority of those in Logan.
The storms also impacted flights across the region, with at least one flight from Brisbane to Sydney diverted to the Gold Coast.
Areas of the Gold Coast Hinterland copped between 20mm and 50mm of rain, but the city avoided the worst of the damage.
However, investigators are looking into whether lightning sparked a fire at a home in Wongawallen on Wednesday afternoon.
The house was extensively damaged by the blaze, but thankfully no one was inside at the time.
The region is bracing for even more storm action on Thursday, with the chance those storms could be severe again.
“We still are seeing a lot of tropical moisture sticking around the east coast, and that does mean that there is the chance of thunderstorms again,” BOM Senior Forecaster Jonathon Howe said.
“The focus ff severe thunderstorms will again be across north eastern parts of New South Wales and southeast Queensland.
“We could see severe thunderstorms developing again this afternoon, bringing heavy rainfall, damaging winds and large hail and areas which could be impacted include Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.”
