It is expected that there will be a severe thunderstorm in Queensland on November 18, bringing heavy rain and possible flash floods.

The Broad Bay area and the Burnett Coast will experience storm activity, which is expected to stretch between Bundaberg and Moore Park Beach. 

As of the morning of November 18, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has issued a severe weather warning, predicting that the coast will be hit hard for the rest of the day.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) also issued a storm warning for northern New South Wales this afternoon.

The bureau has urged people living in the area to pay close attention to the incident, which may get worse.

Strong winds are expected to cause severe damage in the snow-capped mountains of New South Wales, with gusts of up to 125 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the Bureau of Meteorology stated that thunderstorms in the afternoon may bring destructive winds of up to 125 mph to mountainous areas with an altitude of more than 1,900 feet. 

The wind is expected to weaken on Friday.

On November 17, a strong wind warning was issued in South Australia, and the warning lasted until November 18.

Residents of the Lofty Mountain Range, North Central and Murrayland have been urged to be careful and pay close attention to this incident.

According to 9News, forecasters in Victoria predicted various weather conditions for the remainder of the day, including windy weather in the afternoon and even a serious fire warning in Marley.

This year, as the Rania weather pattern is fully established across the country, rainfall in Australia has increased significantly.

According to meteorologists, there is no place in the country that needs rain at the moment, because wet weather continues to envelop the country and is expected to continue throughout the summer.

Early planning can save lives and minimize property damage. Preparing for the storm requires some key actions.

In a storm, everything from garden furniture to children’s trampolines can turn into missiles. Walk around in your yard and pay attention to all items that need to be secured or moved inside during a strong storm. If you are going on vacation, please be prepared.

Check your roof every year and correct any problems that arise. Check for leaks in the roof area. If you can see the light, there is a leak. 

Keep drains and downpipes free of debris to prevent spilling onto the roof. Go back to the ground and keep the sewers clean-if they are covered with potted plants (common in courtyards), if heavy rain is forecast, pull them away.

Trim or remove dangerous trees

Strong winds may uproot or pull branches from trees. Are there any dangerous trees nearby? If so, please check with your local council first for the rules and approval requirements for pruning or removing trees. After consulting the committee and obtaining the necessary permits, hire a qualified arborist to trim or remove the trees.

Is your insurance enough? Confirm that your insurance covers natural disasters that may occur in your area. The insurance amount should include the cost of rebuilding or replacing your goods.
