Storms and heavy rainfall are again forecast to hit large parts of Queensland today, with temperatures expected to drop across much of the sunshine state.
Flood cameras show some minor flooding in the Noosa region after the area experienced heavy rainfall overnight and throughout the morning.
At Bec Tardent’s home in Parklands, things were extremely wet.
Ms Tardent said the storm cell appeared to have “dumped rain” over Noosa all night and she had moved her outdoor furniture inside while using sandbags to keep the rain out of her home.

Shane Kennedy from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the south-east corner will enjoy a “few days off” from the worst of the heat before temperatures ramp back up.
“As we move towards the end of the week though, those temperatures are back to average and even pushing above average as we move into the weekend,” he said.
Severe storm warning lifted
Mr Kennedy said there was potential for severe thunderstorms in the southern and central interior and a low chance of one or two thunderstorms in the south east.
A severe storm warning was issued by the BOM about 7:30am Tuesday.
An earlier severe storm warning issued by the BOM about 7:30am for the Sunshine Coast was lifted at 8:30am.
The BOM warned the redevelopment of severe thunderstorms remained possible, however.
A southerly change stalled inland of the Sunshine Coast, helping to create slow-moving heavy showers and thunderstorm activity.
Windy conditions are also expected across the south east with strong wind warnings for the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast waters.
Residents are advised to monitor the radar and thunderstorm warnings.
