    Disaster in north-west Queensland not over yet, more rain forecast for tropical coast

    Pilots are taking to the skies in outback Queensland to shift cattle to higher ground, drop fodder and assess damage. 

    There is potential for isolated heavy falls in already flooded catchments in the north west, and more rain is forecast for the coast around Townsville. 

    The system in the north west is weakening and moving south. The Bureau of Meteorology says the system on the coast should shift offshore early next week. 

    Ringer Jessica Bridges turns on the TV at night to fall asleep so she does not have to listen to the rain.

    "There's a lot of anxiety and big emotions in a lot of people's households," Ms Bridges said.

    Thunderstorms and heavy rain are forecast for small parts of Queensland after two people were rescued from floodwaters on Saturday. 

    Swiftwater rescue crews retrieved two people from vehicles stuck in floodwaters in separate incidents near Beaudesert, while the State Emergency Service responded to more than 130 calls for help.

    On the Sunshine Coast, Kenilworth was hit with 65 millimetres of rain in 30 minutes on Saturday, while Kooralbyn, on the Scenic Rim, recorded an overnight total of 136 millimetres.

    Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) senior forecaster Lauren Murphy said a rain band extending from the state's north-west to south-east would bring patchy rain and showers, with the potential for severe storms to return.

    Much of northern and eastern Australia faces a risk of severe thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon and evening, with millions of people potentially in the firing line.

    “It’s another severe thunderstorm outbreak for eastern parts of the country. It could be an active one,” said Angus Hines, senior meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology on Saturday.

    The warning comes after storms swept over south-east Queensland on Friday, with the ABC reporting that more than 11,000 homes lost power after late afternoon and evening storms.
