#QFES is urging residents in south-east Qld to prepare for thunderstorms in the coming hours. The Bureau of Meteorology has advised at 5:55pm very dangerous storms have been detected on the radar near Cherbourg, Sunshine Coast and parts of the Gympie, Somerset and South Burnett Council areas. QFES is urging residents who are currently in and around parts of the Gympie and Sunshine Coast Council Areas to take precautionary measures and prepare for the storms. If you are in this area, bring loose outdoor items indoors and secure items which can’t be moved, such as swing sets and trampolines. Move cars undercover and away from trees and when the storm approaches, seek shelter indoors and never under trees. Always be aware of fallen trees and powerlines.
