Some residents of Northern New South Wales have been asked to boil their tap water until further notice, due to damage from Ex-Tropical Cyclone Albert.
The boil water alert was issued by Tweed Shire Council on Saturday.
“Council cannot guarantee the quality of the water in the entire suburb of Terranora or some areas of Banora Point, being those properties along the Terranora Road ridgeline bounded by Fraser Drive to the west, Banora Hills Drive to the east and Lochlomand Drive to the north, also including those that live on Old Ferry Rd between Terranora Road and Mariners Cresent.”
Bilambil Heights also remains on a boil water alert.
While tap water is safe for bathing, the council notes there is a risk if water is swallowed during washing and bathing.
Dean Narramore from the Bureau of Meteorology says the Brisbane area has seen 50-100mm of rainfall with most of that being captured in the last 6 hours.
BOM warns a further deluge will likely ramp up around mid-morning and in the afternoon.
Eagle Farm received one of the highest rainfall totals with 102mm, with 108mm at Chandler.
"Pretty much the entire city has had somewhere between 50 to 80mm," he says.
This is great news for so many of you who have been writing into the blog tonight about the strong, powerful winds currently lashing Brisbane and beyond.
Dean Narramore from the Bureau of Meteorology told ABC Radio the winds are very slowly starting to ease.
"It’s been a really windy few hours," he says.
"We saw winds gusting almost 110kph at Cape Moreton, 104 at Redcliffe,” he says, adding Toowoomba saw gusts up to 98kph.
Brisbane has seen a "belt" of strong winds over the last few hours.
"We’re starting to see that very slowly ease, winds were gusting 80, 90, 100kph – now they’re gusting more 70-80kph, even 60kph through inland areas.
In the Brisbane area, winds are back into the 40-50kph range.
"So breezy, but not like what we've seen earlier tonight. Thankfully that trend will continue."
Dean Narramore from the Bureau of Meteorology just gave another update to ABC Radio Brisbane.
He says Alfred is beginning to weaken ever so slowly.
"It's pretty much an ex-tropical low, and it's even starting to weaken out from that," he says.
"It's almost becoming an elongated area of a low pressure system and you can see on the radar that rain sort of spiraling around off shore and then through the Brisbane and south-east Queensland area and into far north-east New South Wales.
"We expect all that to slowly move towards the west-south west today so there's a lot more rain on the way for many of us."
In regional Queensland, 20,090 properties are without power as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Albert pushes further inland.
The outages are concentrated around Toowoomba, with 19,984 properties disconnected.
The figures come from Ergon, which distributes power to regional Queensland.

Seqwater says flood releases from North Pine Dam will begin at 3am due to the continuing rain.
Youngs Crossing will be closed prior to releases commencing.
No flood releases are currently scheduled for the Wivenhoe or Somerset Dams.
"If you are downstream of the dams, stay away from fast flowing or deep water near waterways and floodplains," Seqwater says.
My apartment building in Kangaroo Point has been shaking with the force of the winds coming from the East. Far worse than last night and very unsettling. - Elle
Hectic winds and sheets of rain in Manly, unrelenting. - Grant
Blustery winds and rain here in Logan area at now 12.50 am. Power's been out for 24 hours! - Jeanette
Brisbane’s Southside is also experiencing heavy rainfall and very strong winds. I live at Holland Park and it seems the weather conditions are worse than last night. We still have power, fortunately. - Heather
In Keperra. Saw a few big red, then green / blue flashes in the sky from my bedroom window. A whole area that I can see in the distance, that's usually dotted with traffic and street lights, is now completely dark. Watching the power slowly go out in the suburbs around me, on the Energex power outage map. Very eerie! - Sam
Thanks for keeping up the posts! Struggling to sleep from the sheer noise of this wind, appreciate the company. Ex-Alfred hasn't failed to put on a show, albeit late - Windy
Residents of Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley have been told to take care aroundfallen debris and power lines as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Albert begins to move through the region.
Deputy district disaster coordinator Scott Stahlhut told ABC Radio Brisbane it was important for people in affected areas to avoid attempting to clear debris on your own.
“So we're seeing trees coming down, which is concerning, and our operational crews in Toowoomba are increasingly in demand now,” Mr Stahlhut told the ABC.
The region is expected to receive heavy rainfall as the storm system moves further inland.
“I'm confident that a lot of those people in those vulnerable areas are well informed, and they're taking whatever pre-emptive action they need to take now in consideration of what may come,” he said.
Earlier today, we heard from Sarah, who dialed into ABC Radio Brisbane to tell us it’s “better to be overprepared than overwhelmed”.
That prompted me to ask you about how you’ve battened down the hatches.
Here's what V told us:
Prepared, ha! I was prepared yesterday, last night. But foolishly, I moved some things back outside — thinking the worst of the wind had passed. Nope. As others have said, last night was a breeze compared to this. Can only hope that nothing will be damaged in the morning.
I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you, V!
