Power out, trees downed and damage reported after wild Queensland thunderstorms
Trees and powerlines are down and thousands of homes are without power after a fierce storm swept across Brisbane and neighbouring Ipswich.
The storm, described by authorities as very dangerous, forced play in the first Test between Australia and Pakistan at the Gabba to be stopped.

Power was cut to more than 1400 customers in Brisbane and more than 5000 customers in Ipswich, where 55mm of rain fell in just 30 minutes.
Water poured into a supermarket in the western Brisbane suburb of Bellbowrie, after the roof was badly damaged.
Police say there have been no injuries in that incident, but the Moggil Road shopping centre has been evacuated as a precaution.
On the other side of town, Wynnum Esplanade was closed after a damaged shop front fell onto an unoccupied car.
Trees are also being reported on many roads, including Gympie Road at Chermside, while powerlines are also down in Bardon.
Authorities warned people to stay inside and beware of fallen trees and powerlines.
Brisbane Airport advised passengers to check flight details, with some flights delayed during the storm.
The Darling Downs, Wide Bay and Burnett, and Granite Belt regions could be hit with severe storms.
