Words by Moreton Daily
Weather conditions are finally starting to ease in the City of Moreton Bay, but flooding remains a concern in some areas. For most though, recovery is beginning.
Our photographers Dominika Lis and Emma-Louise Huggins have been out and about. See the photo galleries below.
At 3pm today, Moreton Bay City Council issued a statement saying weather conditions are easing, with rain intensity lower and heavier activity moving west.
SES, ENERGEX and Council staff continue to remove and clear debris caused by the severe weather conditions.
Residents are still urged to stay safe and report major damages or obstructions.
If you face life threatening situations, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
For flood and storm help, call SES on 132 500 or download the SES Assistance Queensland app.
