EX-Cylone Debbie has soaked Redlands catchments, leading to roads closed, mobile phone towers down, ferry services abandoned, nearly 6000 people without power and flooding in low lying areas.
It saw Redlands record 254.4mm of rain so far this month, following a dust-dry summer.
In some ferocious conditions, Capalaba had the best falls, with 163mm in the 24 hours to 9am today.
This produced flooding at the Capalaba Greyhound Racing Club and nearby soccer fields due to Tingalpa Creek breaking its banks.
About 100 trees were knocked down as the remains of ex-Cyclone Debbie blew through.
Chandler had 130mm, Ransome 128mm, Burbank 121mm, Alexandra Hills 94mm and Mt Cotton West 117mm.
Weather Bureau figures show that southern parts of the city and bay islands received the lowest falls.
Police said lights at almost all intersections at Capalaba were affected by power outages.
A car got stuck in water near the intersection of Green Camp and Rickertt roads on Thursday evening.
Police said 15 to 20 trees had fallen on power lines, blocking Serpentine Creek Road at Redland Bay, Moreton Bay Road near Capalaba Regional Park and Mount Cotton Road near Degen Road.
A tree also fell onto a car parked at Killarney Crescent, Capalaba about 9.30pm.
Mayor Karen Williams said while the rain had cleared it was important people remained vigilant to potential dangers such as falling trees.
"There is still a lot of water around, so people need to take precautions including staying out of flood waters," she said.
"Flooded creeks, drains and rivers are not pools and I would urge everyone to stay away and remember the rule 'If it's flooded forget it'.
"With schools across the region still closed children may be tempted to have some fun in local waterways, so parents need to ensure they reinforce these important safety messages. The last thing we want is a tragedy in Redland City.’’
Cr Williams said council and SES crews were surveying damage.
"There are currently more than 100 trees down across the city and with the ground water-logged trees will continue to be vulnerable to falling over the coming days," she said.
"It may take some time to attend to all of these trees and we appreciate people's patience. To report trees down contact Redland City Council on 3829 8999.
"QFES also advises there is flooding on the Logan River and while Redlands won't see large impacts, some residents may notice higher river levels and should take care.’’

"Council sports fields will also remain closed over the weekend and officers will assess the situation on Monday,’’ Cr Williams said.
"Waste transfer stations are open today and free for all residents to dump any green waste they may have from last night's storm."
