A powerful storm cut power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses in Queensland, Australia, on Thursday.
The storm, which reportedly saw winds gusting at 140 kmh, also saw "golf ball-sized" hailstones rain down on the city of Brisbane.
The Queensland Police Service said power lines and trees were down across the city and many crashes had been reported.
The army has been deployed in a massive clean-up operation.
