100,000 homes without power in Queensland after devastation of Cyclone Debbie

More than 100,000 Queensland homes and businesses have been left without power in the destructive wake of ex-tropical cyclone Debbie, as airline passengers are left stranded.

According to Energex, just over 100,000 customers across the state have been plunged into darkness thanks to severe weather damage and incapacitated power lines.

‘[The] big issue now is with the extent of wind damage and flooding on top, access is becoming something of an issue,’ an Energex spokesman told 9 News.

‘It’s going to be a lot of work.’
