Motorists are running low on petrol as petrol stations were left out of action due to power outages following the crazy storm. And the drought isn’t over. The weather event did not provide the much-needed rain as only between 20 and 40 millimetres fell across the region, with Brisbane receiving as little as 15 millimetres.
Fewer than 10,000 southeast Queensland properties were still affected by late Monday night, with Logan City accounting for nearly 7000 of them.
The Bureau of Meteorology cancelled the latest warning at 5.15pm, saying severe thunderstorms were no longer affecting the southeast Queensland area.

It is nice to see the Cabal occupying high rise building had been attacked by Galactic Federation of Light mother ship. Some years ago, I had been invited to their party at the top of the highest building in downtown Tampa FL. A Jewish guy came to me and said “You are invited to our party. We can also show you the secret underground base under the MacDill Air Force Base.” I felt very strange, so I declined his offer. Then he asked me “Today, do you see any bad alinen?” I almost wanted to say ” Yes, just in front of me.” But I just laughed.
