Field crews did have to stop work during the night (Tuesday) due to the latest storms.
The majority of the remaining SEQ customers are expected to be restored to power by 8pm Wednesday, however some areas of severe damage around Bribie Island and the Sunshine Coast are likely to be without power into Thursday.
Energex asks for residents to take extreme care when cleaning up storm debris, particularly fallen trees and vegetation, as fallen powerlines may be hidden underneath debris and could well be live.
Stay well away from all fallen powerlines – always treat them as if they are live - and call Energex on 13 19 62.
Energex will have three helicopters flying quite low across the most severely damaged areas from first light again Wednesday morning to further assess damage.
