Severe thunderstorms have lashed south-east Queensland with destructive winds and golf ball-sized hailstones hitting parts of the Darling Downs and Scenic Rim.
The storms first hit the Darling Downs and Scenic Rim about 4:00pm.
Golf ball-sized hail was reported at Warwick and Toowoomba.
Wind gusts up to 89 kilometres per hour were recorded at Toowoomba, where flights were cancelled at Wellcamp Airport.
"We've seen reports of up to golf ball-size hail or a little bit larger and some wind gusts have been recorded above the 90-kilometre mark at places like Warwick and Toowoomba airport as well and Wellcamp Airport — they've all recorded strong wind gusts," forecaster Jonty Hall said.
Photos posted on social media appeared to show a shed damaged by destructive winds at nearby Withcott.
The Gold Coast, Ipswich, and Brisbane were next hit but the same large hail did not eventuate.
Queensland Ambulance Service urged people to be careful with lightning about.
"We have transported two Gold Coast people to hospital from reported shocks," the service tweeted.
The BOM earlier described some of the systems as "very dangerous".
A second line of storms moved through the South Burnett and Dalby areas prompting further severe storm warnings which were later cancelled.
Forecasters said the storms would continue throughout Thursday night.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
- Move your car undercover or away from trees
- Secure loose outdoor items
- Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees
- Avoid using the telephone during a thunderstorm
- Beware of fallen trees and powerlines
