Over 300 calls for help after rain pummels southeast Queensland with conditions set to ease

Key points

• Emergency crews responded to more than 300 calls for help across southeast Queensland in 24 hours after heavy rain caused flash flooding. Two campers were winched to safety near Mount Barney after floodwaters cut them off.
• Several drivers were also rescued from stranded cars. Parts of Morayfield were told to prepare to leave, and about a dozen schools closed on Thursday, with some staying shut into Friday.
• The Bureau of Meteorology says conditions are expected to ease from Tuesday, when a drier air mass should move in.
