David Crisafulli is giving a press conference in about two minutes. 

You'll be able to watch the whole thing here:

Lockyer Valley Regional Council says the Warrego Highway has reopened near Gatton. 

It had been closed in both directions at Forest Hill Fernvale Rd, Glenore Grove because of flooding 

The council says drivers should drive to the conditions - so be prepared to take it slow if you're travelling through that area. 

Our houses can become a breeding ground for mould during prolonged wet weather event and after flooding. 

Mould can grow on clothes, walls, doors, furniture and ceilings — I even found some on the fabric upholstery inside the car over the weekend! Next time, I'll check there's no rain leaking through my windows.

Not only is it unsightly, but mould can lead to severe health problems if not properly removed.

Different surfaces will require varying strategies but, if you've got dangerous chemicals in the mix, make sure you're using protective gear like gloves, an N-95 mask, and eye protection.

If you've been following the news this week, no doubt you would have seen pictures of this local landmark being blown down during the storms on the Gold Coast. 

Today, the clean up has begun and many locals stood and watched as the giant golf ball was lifted by a crane. 

Don't worry, they're going to put it back up.

Ipswich residents are breathing a sigh of relief after a nervous wait overnight.

Susan Woods lives in the suburb of Woodend, and says she hasn't been into town since news broke that the water had begun to recede.

"We did all the [bringing] everything in off the balcony, locked down the bins," she says.

"[My son] Connor said he got up to check the water.

"But it didn't even cross the road, thank goodness." 

In case you missed it, Chris Graham from Energex just told ABC News Channel that more than 100,000 properties are still without power in Queensland.

The Red Cross is appealing for urgent blood donations with stocks still depleted due to ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

It says donation centres shut during the weather event but a surge in hospital orders had created an unprecedented decrease in supplies.

Red Cross Lifeblood spokesperson Jessica Willet says up to 3,500 appointments in Queensland and New South Wales were cancelled last week.

"It's really urgent that we get more people to donate blood this week, we need an extra 6,000 people to boost our blood stocks back up to healthy levels to make sure that we've got the blood that patients need."

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour says the centre will open at midday today at the Hervey Bay Library.

Yesterday 1,600 properties were being assessed for damage after Sunday's deluge. 

“Whether it's access to Lifeline, access to money to get food and replace goods, access help for people with forms, we’ll have a lot of people in place to help in terms of the recovery,” he says.

Energex's Chris Graham has been telling ABC News about how crews are going about restoring power to south-east Queensland. 

He says crews are facing risky job sites:

"We are dealing with electricity and it does not give second chances and is silent and hazardous.

"[It's] not just a matter of racking up and slining a wire and jumping out of a truck and getting stuck in, there is a whole process to make sure every worker is safe."

Here's the process workers have to go through to get homes back online:

"We need to make sure before we touch any wires we have understood what the damage is. 

 "We write an isolation procedure, enact that, test it is de-energised, apply operational areas to make sure to save and then every one of our crew must know what the risks are and the safe procedures are and have a discussion and only then we will start work and then using additional layers of PPE before we start work, so not just a matter of racking up and sing a wire and jumping out of a truck and getting stuck in, there is a whole process to make sure every worker is safe."
