Melissa Downs and Joel Dry lead the Queensland news with extensive coverage of the severe storm that battered the Southeast over the weekend. They show the full force of the storm’s destruction, which has led to mass power outages and 15 school closures. Clean-up crews are racing against time to restore electricity to tens of thousands of homes.

Plus, a new Bureau of Meteorology website is causing frustration among users, and we have full details on when the record heat will finally break. | Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9 | Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au: http://9Soci.al/iyCO50GjSK6
