Residents in south-east Queensland are preparing for a fresh round of wild weather as the east coast low blows across the border.

Ferocious winds have swept across much of the southeast, with the frigid gusts toppling trees and powerlines, plunging tens of thousands into darkness.

One woman and her baby survived a close call after a gum tree came crashing on top of their car in Narangba in Moreton Bay.

A trampoline was seen soaring into a backyard in the city’s northeast, and throughout the day, 41,000 homes and businesses experienced power outages.

More than a dozen flights in and out of Brisbane were also cancelled.

Tonight, more than 13,000 still remain in the dark.
