POWER outages lasted up to five hours at Jimboomba on New Year’s Day as severe storms took their toll.
Gusty winds uprooted a tree which fell on a power line on Alfred Road at Stockleigh, causing grief for 5000 Energex customers in surrounding areas.
Branches also fell on a powerline at North Maclean.
An Energex spokesperson said affected suburbs included Munruben, Stockleigh, Jimboomba, South Maclean, Greenbank, North Maclean, Yarrabilba, Logan Village, Kairabah and parts of Tamborine.
Scenic Rim suburbs which lost power included Kerry and Oaky Creek.
While power was restored to some areas within two hours of the power outages, others were not restored until late in the night.
Outages follow storms which tore through the Scenic Rim on New Year’s Eve and left more than 1800 people without power.
Scenic Rim State Emergency Service members were called to help a Cryna resident remove debris after a pergola roof was ripped off.

“There is a good chance of a shower and thunderstorms today and these thunderstorms can also be severe with heavy rainfall,” she said.
