Various parts of Brisbane were affected by storms over the weekend, with torrents of rain and forks of lightning making for a fantastic show. However, in some areas the rain was so heavy that it caused flash flooding and, sadly, even led to one man losing his life.
Storms in Brisbane can be severe, and events such as those that occurred this past weekend serve as a reminder to the ferocity of nature. Budding social media users, particuarly those on Instagram, took the storms as an opportunity to capture some phenomenal photos of what occurred - from the approaching threat of dark rain clouds to the serenity of sunlight finally shining through once the storm had ended.
Below is just one of many photos that caught amazing moments of the storm in Woolloongabba.
Next up is a photo of foreboding dark clouds gathering behind the Story Bridge.
Back to Woolloongabba, we get an idea of just how flooded the roads started to become around the stadium.
While not part of the same set of storms, dark clouds made there way into view above Mount Coot-tha, making for some beautiful - yet foreboding views - in Annerley.
And yet another great shot of the storm in Woolloongabba.
To finish it off, here are a couple more general Brisbane storm photos that made the rounds online.
