As of Sunday, 2,700 customers across North Queensland remained without power, with Ergon crews facing difficulties due to overnight flooding and poor flying conditions reducing the number of workers on the ground. A damage assessment team managed to fly over some sections of the network supplying Paluma on Sunday.

    Extra swiftwater rescue crews, police and boats are being sent north from southeast Queensland ahead of what the Premier has warned will be another severe weekend of devastation for an already-saturated and “hurting” region. Premier David Crisafulli said the Bureau of Meteorology has warned of more heavy rainfall that could lead to dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding between Ayr and Tully Friday night and over the weekend.
