The bureau has copped flak for failing to warn people in Brisbane of Saturday's storm, which was the worst in 14 months.


People living in Queensland's southeast have been warned that dangerous storms are on their way for the second day in a row.

Brisbane is still cleaning up after a ferocious storm hit on Saturday, with winds of almost cyclonic force bringing down trees and powerlines, leaving thousands without electricity.

On Sunday, it's day two, with the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issued a severe storm warning at midday (AEST), saying large hailstorms and damaging winds are expected for people living between central Queensland and the NSW border.

Brisbane's south is expected to be hit on Sunday afternoon.
