Chaos rained at the Brisbane Airport last night as storms raged across south-east Queensland, Australia. While the storm brought much-needed rain to a parched region, lightning from the storm blacked out about 22,000 homes and businesses.

The worst hit areas were Brisbane’s northern suburbs and Ipswich, west of the city.

Electricity maintenance crews are gradually restoring power in south-east Queensland this morning.

The storms also brought down powerlines on the rail line at Lindum in Brisbane’s east, causing problems on the Cleveland line.
