At the risk of sounding like autotldr bot, here's an assortment of big numbers without any additional context:

Queensland Ambulance Service this afternoon confirmed a 10-year-old girl is in a critical condition at Sunshine Coast University after they were injured by the storm while at a private address in Beerwah.

Heavy rain, large hail and record-breaking winds up to 169 kph were felt at Archerfield Airport, in Brisbane's south, where nine planes were damaged.

Prior to this storm, the previous record at Archerfield was 143 kph, back in December of 1946.

SES volunteers have been busy, with 182 call outs since Friday afternoon.

Energex received over 250 reports of powerlines down through those storms yesterday and most of that was caused by things like trees, roofing iron, other debris being blown or falling onto those power lines," Mr Stork said.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Queensland Ambulance Service this afternoon confirmed a 10-year-old girl is in a critical condition at Sunshine Coast University after they were injured by the storm while at a private address in Beerwah.

The wild weather continues after powerful storms ripped through south-east Queensland overnight, damaging homes and overturning light aircraft.

Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) senior forecaster Shane Kennedy said "anything above 125kph is a destructive gust", comparing winds on Friday night "to what we see at a low-end category three tropical cyclone".

"Energex received over 250 reports of powerlines down through those storms yesterday and most of that was caused by things like trees, roofing iron, other debris being blown or falling onto those power lines," Mr Stork said.

While northern parts of Queensland were concerned with ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper, Mr Kennedy said cloud lifting in the state's capital made for "hot and humid" conditions that left the atmosphere unstable.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said green waste could be disposed of at Willawong Resource Recovery Centre, near Archerfield, for free this weekend.
