All severe weather warnings around Queensland have been cancelled as Bundaberg residents are left cleaning up after a 'tornado' struck the city.
On Monday, severe weather drenched and damaged the Queensland coast with power outages, flooding, intense rainfall and what locals in one city believed to be a "tornado" striking.
Bundaberg was battered by wet and wild weather resulting in the all-time rainfall record for October being knocked out of the park in just one day.
The city recorded 286mm in the six hours to 6.30pm with a total of 339 millimetres falling in the 24 hours prior, smashing the October rainfall record of 280 millimetres.
During the severe weather, there were more than 3000 properties in Bundaberg without power and emergency services responded to 90 calls for help, including roof damage, minor house flooding and fallen power lines.
More than 2200 buildings had lost power in Brisbane city by Monday night.
On Tuesday morning, the Bureau of Meteorology cancelled all severe thunderstorm and wind warnings across the state.
The low that brought severe weather to Bundaberg on Monday was expected to shift south-east into New South Wales.
Showers and storms were expected to continue in the Wide Bay, Burnett and Capricornia districts on Tuesday while Brisbane could expect between 6 and 25 millimetres of rain to fall.

Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said having seen the images and video, he believed "the damage was consistent with something like a tornado".
He added that given the "massive downpour and thunderstorm" nearby, the weather was "conducive" to a tornado occurring.
