The State Emergency Service (SES) has had another busy night after severe storms lashed parts of Queensland again yesterday. Crews says they have received 71 calls for help in the past 24 hours. The weather bureau says the Central Highlands bore the brunt of yesterday's wild weather. Nearly 120 millimetres fell near Woorabinda, 100mm at Thangool, and many other areas received about 60mm. Weather bureau spokesman Benj Blunt says one particular storm cell affected a wide area. "One particular super-cell started up about 5:30[pm] yesterday just to the south of Rolleston and it went for about eight hours, tracked a good 300 kilometres, clearing off the coast just south of Emu Park "It was a beauty all right, so they can hang around for a while." Ergon is reporting some places are without power. The rain also forced the postponement of Rockhampton's annual Christmas parade along Musgrave Street to a major shopping centre. More rain is forecast over the next few days.
