That's where we'll leave our live coverage of ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji today. 

As we close the blog, here's a reminder of the current situation as of 5:30pm

• More than 22,000 people are without power, mostly in the Mackay and Whitsundays region.
• Koji has been downgraded to a tropical low and is moving inland, with the BOM saying it is weakening as it does so.
• Severe weather warnings for heavy rainfall remain in place for an area from south of Proserpine to Gladstone.
• Flood warnings are also in effect for several catchments.
• There are closures on the Bruce Highway to the south and north of Proserpine.

For more on the weather event, you can join the ABC News Queensland team at 7pm on ABC TV or on iview.

Our team will be back tomorrow as the rain continues and the clean-up begins.

• BOM has released its 7-day forecast map, up until next Sunday
• Koji is expected to weaken further and move west and then north-west, through the Gulf Country and towards the Northern Territory, then potentially towards northern WA next weekend.
• Next weekend if Koji does move off the northern WA coast, it has a chance of redeveloping into a tropical cyclone.

Mackay resident Tim Aquilina shared this video which shows the damage ex-TC Koji caused at his home, including fallen trees and a damaged roof.

Queensland Traffic says the Bruce Highway is now closed at Kelsey Creek, south of Proserpine, as well as north of Proserpine at Hamilton Plains. 

As always, the most reliable source of traffic information is here.

ABC reporter Liam O'Connell has just given this update from Mackay, where flooding remains a possibility.

He says the latest information is that 16 boats either washed up or broke apart in the Mackay and Whitsundays region as a result of dangerous weather conditions brought by ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji earlier today. 

Flood cameras in the Whitsundays region show water levels and the conditions of some roads across the area after ex-TC Koji.

​Our reporter Johanna Marie shot this as she crossed the Pioneer River at Mirani, inland from Mackay.

The river is at a major flood level at Mirani and is continuing to rise, the BOM says.

The catchment has received the highest rainfall from the system.

The nearby ranges were hit with rainfall totals of 331mm in just six hours.

A Severe Weather Warning for heavy, locally intense rainfall is current for the Pioneer River catchment. 

ABC reporter Jasmine Hines snapped these pictures of flooding at Myrtle Creek near Proserpine in the Whitsundays region. 

The Bureau of Meteorology says rainfall has begun easing across most of north Queensland, however, a severe weather warning for heavy rainfall remains in place, stretching from Townsville to Rockhampton and inland across the central highlands and coalfields.

"That's flagging six-hour rainfall rates of 80 to 150mm with 24-hour totals of 150 to 250mm likely," Ms Bradbury explained.

"This is coming in on top of a couple of days of already very wet weather ... so falling on saturated river catchments and further exacerbating that ongoing riverine flooding situation that has already begun to develop."

The rain is expected to continue into tomorrow and flood watches are in place for large swathes of the state's coast.

Sheenagh Gyss and Colin Payne watched the weather system pass from the confines of their campervan in Mackay.

Ms Gyss says she has been through cyclones before, but not while in a caravan. 

"By 7am we were starting to see some decent wind gusts," she says. 

 "Between 9am and 10am that is when the van was shuddering - that's an interesting experience."
