Intense rainfall is predicted on Thursday afternoon, before the weather is expected to clear early on Friday.
The wild weather saw authorities:
- Cancel classes and call for children to be picked up early from school
- Urge shops and businesses to close by lunchtime
- Announce free public transport so workers could get home
- Warn the worst of the rain would hit tonight
- Forecast clearer skies for Friday as the low pressure system moved offshore
There have been more than 3,600 calls for help to the State Emergency Service today, and more than 50 swiftwater rescues in south-east Queensland as ex-Cyclone Debbie dumped more than a month’s worth of rain on the region in a single day.
