Parts of southern Queensland have been pelted with hail overnight in fast-moving storms that brought up to 60 millimetres of rain in an hour.
A number of severe storms formed west of Brisbane about 7:00pm, hitting Toowoomba, north of Warwick and Allora as they quickly moved towards the coast.
The Bureau of Metereology (BOM) said large hail was reported about 7:30pm at Wellcamp, near Toowoomba, and later at Helidon in the Lockyer Valley, and the Southern Downs.
Forecaster Kimba Wong said the storms moved too quickly to deliver much rain to most areas, with the exception of Mt Mowbullan, between Toowoomba and Kingaroy, which received about 92mm.
Further south, in the Lockyer Valley, about 60mm fell at Forest Hill.
"Once that storm moved through and dropped that large hail it sort of stalled over the Lockyer Valley and started dropping rainfall instead of hail," Ms Wong said.
Energex said the storms had caused 193,000 lightning strikes across south-east Queensland.
About 10,900 Energex customers lost power, including nearly 5,000 in the Lockyer Valley.
Hundreds of properties remained without power this morning.
There is a chance again today of more severe storms in south-east Queensland, after the region was lashed by storms earlier this week.
A severe thunderstorm warning is in place for the Darling Downs and Granite Belt.
"Today is another day where we may see the risk of large hail with any severe thunderstorms that do develop," Ms Wong said.
"The upper trough that's been driving the weather for the last 24-48 hours is still in place."
Storm activity is expected to ease from Thursday when the trough and upper trough are likely to move offshore during the morning.
A ridge of high pressure will strengthen across the state in their wake, with mostly sunny conditions almost statewide.
