Emergency services are on high alert across the Moreton Bay region with wind gusts up to 80km/h, king tides and heavy rain still lashing the area.

Moreton Bay SES acting local controller Alan Peterson said they had received 14 calls for help since 5am today. Many of the calls were for assistance following flooding and fallen trees.

Jorge Nieto captured these photos of the King Tide hitting the Peninsula.

It is the second time in a week the region has been battered by wild weather with SES responding to 190 calls around Bribie Island in the past seven days.

“We are getting calls all over the place from Woodford, Caboolture, Bribie, Redcliffe and Petrie,” Mr Peterson said.

On the Peninsula streets at Scarborough have been flooded by seawater, waves have crashed into the historic “red cliffs” putting to the test the $1.5 million restoration work carried out by Council over the past 18 months while water in the Main Canal lapped Webbs Bridge near the Dolphins Leagues Club.

Volunteers of the Moreton Region SES Unit have been busy removing fallen trees, taping smashed windows and cleaning gutters.

Christie Payne took this photo of trees knocked over at Pelican Park.

He said the region had received between 70-100m of rain but the biggest concern at the moment was the pending king tides due to hit the Peninsula around 9am.

Mr Peterson said more wild weather was on the cards and the SES volunteers were on standby to help wherever needed.
