Emergency crews were working to restore energy supply throughout the impacted areas, with nearly 70 crews deployed to manage the widespread outages.
Victoria's Weather Woes
Simultaneously, nearly 1,000 energy customers in the southern state also experienced electricity disruptions after Melbourne experienced its wettest day in a year and a half.
Rescue organizations received nearly 600 emergency reports across the area, primarily for property damage but also for collapsed vegetation and water accumulation.
Most Impacted Locations
- Werribee region - saw significant weather impact
- Hoppers Crossing - numerous emergency calls
- Wyndham area - over 175 calls for assistance
At one point on the previous day, in excess of 28k electricity consumers in Victoria were lacking electricity.
Climate Outlook
Moist weather were forecast to persist along significant areas of Queensland's east this week as a weather pattern continued to attract humidity against the shoreline.
Tuesday was forecast to be the most rainy day, with continued severe weather risk expected across different parts of both regions.
Medical Alert
Health officials cautioned that there was an increased chance of weather-related respiratory issues across the countryside regions, specifically given the ongoing climate situation.
This alert comes after past events where similar conditions led to substantial respiratory problems in the area.
