Looks like Mother Nature isn't done quite yet. Another superstorm appeared on Saturday, this time hitting Australia's East Coast. The city of Brisbane, Queensland, and its surrounding areas were struck by lightning 4,000 times in a single hour. There are now over 6,000 homes and businesses in the area without power, including several buildings with collapsed roofs. A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Queensland for the rest of the weekend.
