A child is in critical condition after being struck by lightning during thunderstorms that continue to ravage parts of south-east Queensland. The incident occurred in Beerwah, an hour’s drive north of Brisbane, prompting paramedics to rush the child to Sunshine Coast University Hospital. The Bureau of Meteorology had earlier issued warnings about severe thunderstorms, large hailstones, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall, which could potentially lead to flash flooding in Brisbane and the south-east. The storms result from a warm, humid air mass ahead of a surface trough over the region. The bureau predicts that severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, and large hail could persist on Sunday across the south-east. Motorists and residents are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
