More than 4000 homes have been left without power after damaging winds and large hailstones tore through parts of south-east Queensland yesterday afternoon.

Five-to-seven centimetre hails stones were reported through Kumbia, Dalby and Gympie while Emergency Services are calling out 280 jobs, for leaking roofs and fallen trees in the Kingaroy, Gympie and Fraser Coast areas.

Nanango MP Deb Frecklington, Queensland’s state opposition leader, says there are more storms to hit these areas over the weekend and authorities are urging residents to stay safe and stay indoors.
